I would echo Phil. If you are a home user and will use your PC just
for browsing, music, movies and things like that, then 32 bit version
wont make you loose anything noticeable. I too found the 32bit version
to be somewhat smoother when it comes to flash and some audio and
video codecs. On the other hand if you are into coding(still in that
case in general 32bit should not be too bad) or will run special
applications optimised for 64bit machine then obviously go for the
64bit version.
