Hi,

I think that if you are sure about the architecture and the
installation Media, then go for 64bit. However I would PERSONALLY say
that do not try to go for 64 bit unless you are very sure about the
installation disk or architecture.

However, I have heard (though not tested it myself) that upgrading to
64 bit LATER ON may create complications.
