Boot Camp and Windows 7

I need to know what Windows 7 Professional bit I need. 32 or 64. I have a Late 2007 Macbook Pro 2.6 GHz. I have OS Mavericks (10.9) and Boot Camp 5. It says on the Apple site that I need Boot Camp 4 with a 32-bit. Is that correct? If so, where do I get Boot Camp 4? Or can I use Boot Camp 5 with a 64-bit?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Late 2007 15-inch

The 2007 MacBook Pro only supports 32-bit Windows 7 through Boot Camp although it has got a 64-bit processor, so buy a 32-bit Windows 7 version.
