It's just a marketing ploy.
1) I have 4G of RAM but can't use it in 32bit. 2) I'm about to start doing a lot of video processing work Just to be sure it's the right move I'm installing 64 bit to a second partition and dual booting. I'll have /home on a third partition so it can be shared between whatever OS version I'm running. Thanks for the answers everyone.
