So, you decided that a 32-bit system was the better choice for you. I 
decided that a 64-bit system was the better choice for me. The OP will 
have to decide what is the better choice for him. But since he didn't 
ask whether or not to use a 64-bit system but just what 64-bit system to 
use for the type of CPU he has, chances are that he has made his 
decision already.

My point is simply that I don't consider "if you want to use flash, use 
32-bit" convincing.
