actual difference

Hi,
Ok, call me stupid or summutts lol, but is there any disadvantage of having 32-bit over 64-bit?

Choice between x86 and x64 will depend on the uses for the computer. x64 permits 32bit software to run in a larger address space and 64bit software to run in a really big address space. The registers on a 64bit processor are roomier and are of some benefit to 32bit software as well as 64bit. Of course, you have to have a 64bit processor for any of this to matter. My question for you is, if you have the available partiitons, why not run both?
