whats the difference between 32bit and 64bit? for me windows is just windows..
is perfectly acceptable: when you have a computer than isn't from 10 years ago, when there's not that big enough of a difference to buy W7, and when the main problem with Vista - the thing between the keyboard and chair - is actually sensible
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 I had bought 2x4gigs.. so this was my reasonAnd 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,...

Still using this.
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.
