Mike, don't say stuff that you apparently have no idea about...
Win7 64bit supports 99% of all 32bit applications. And the remaining 1% works with use of compatibility modes. I use Win7 64bit since release day and it works flawlessly with every program up to today. However, 64bit has many advantages over 32bit. Better (and more) RAM usage, better speed in applications designed for 64bit, to name the two most important ones. There really is no reason to use x32.

It also depends on if your computer's processor can handle x64. If it's an older computer, it's most likely compatible with x86 instead of x64.

Well, if you have a CPU that was forged by a royal blacksmith in the Dark Ages, that might be true. But about every hardware produced in the last five to ten years should have no problem with x64.
