in 32 bit the RAM is limited to 4gig (of which it uses 3.5) and I had bought 2x4gigs.. so this was my reason
And if you use professional software you really get some performance boost using the x64 version

not only RAM, but entire available memory = RAM, all caches, video card memory,...altogether limit 4GB

Is that true? Never heard that one before.

There are several more reasons why to choose a 64-bit system of Windows 7; 64-bit editions of Windows need mandatory signing of all kernel-level drivers to make it more difficult for untrusted code to execute (viruses/malware/etc.).

That's why 4GB of RAM on 32bit system gives you ~3 - 3,5GB available...the main rest is for your VGA...but it also depends on bios, motherboard,...
:jawdrop: been a while since my desktop's been so clean.

It's partially true.
32-bit Windows uses PAE anyways, so it can use up to 64GB, the 4GB limit is just a licensing restriction (which can be unlocked, albeit illegally). 32-bit Windows Server 2008, for example, supports 64GB out of the box without any patches.
Lovely Aston Martin as wallpaper.
