The point is moot at this point. No computers should be shipping with 32 bit OS now unless specificly requested by the buyer to support legacy hardware.
If there were a point it would be the longtail. In other words, if you are spending 800 to a grand and expecting the laptop to last 3 years you want 64 bit. If you are spending 300 and want the laptop to last a year then it may not make any difference. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo.
