32 bit vs. 64 bit OS

Advantages of changing from 32 bit to 64 bit OS

Thursday, March 26, 2009 by spook1000 | Discussion: Compatibility

Would appreciate someone explaining to me the notable differences between the two systems.  I'm currently running 32 bit but tempted to switch to 64 bit.  All hardware on my computer is 64 bit compatible, but what software problems would I be facing by switching to 64 bit?  My OS is the Windows 7, build 7057 beta.  The RC version of Windows 7 is due out in May in both 32 and 64 bit.
