Hi Ismael! 64bit can address more memory (I think this relates to RAM. I think the integer size used by the CPU is larger. So good for large numbers? and for a lot of mem. Some people also claim in RT apps it's faster, but I don't really believe that. 32bit: All the wndows dlls will run. I guess you'lll also find more precompiled half-closed software pieces for 32bit. Mplayer and some other programs can use .dll and other windows shared libs to support audio/video formats and maybe more. Java shouldn't be an issue. You should only need the java interpreter and the rest is byte-code, that's supposed to be the same for all systems. but 32bit might also be nice if you're going to use VST(I)s, because they too are pieces of 32bit windws software. But I'm not sure how far the technology has gone here.
