32 bit 64 bit

Which version is better, the 32 bit or 64 bit? I can run both so I was wondering if there was a difference between the two versions? Which runs better?

Unless you're working with huge databases or CAD files, 32-bit should be all you need. The 64-bit version lacks quite a few drivers and won't run 16-bit software (including 16-bit installers for 32-bit programs).

32-bit is recommended ... less driver issues, less hardware issues, etc.
Although, I suppose technically the 64-bit version would run better.
