You only need 64 bit if you have the memory to utilize it or plan on getting enough for it. If you are capped at 3 gigs, don't bother.

I have 4GB Ram :-)
Also when i said to someone in a chat in mirc #GamingExposed and i said i only have 2.7 usable ram they told me to get 64 bit. So i guess i can atleast give it a go.

If I remember correctly, 32 bit systems can only use 3 gigs of ram. If youve got 4 gigs you need. 64 bit os to use that last gig.
