64-bit, because a 64-bit computer handles RAM more effectively.
You know this question is easily googlable. |

| 64 bit, but frankly, it doesn't make much difference for the end user most of the time. |

You need a 64-bit processor, nob.
Usually, more bits = better. |

| I love how nobody has even mentioned program compatibility. Many 32 bit programs don't work with 64 bit, and vice versa. But since I can't even find a computer for sale with a 32 bit OS, I would go with 64 bit. |

Even though I have 32 bit, I recommend 64 bit. Really now, anyone who does not have 64 bit is either crazy, or is waiting to increase his funds for a even better computer!

| 64-bit, it holds much more ram, computer memory, faster gameplay, etc. But don't be tricked, there are two Program Files folders in 64-bit, just pick "Program Files (x86)". You should trust me because I am using 64-bit right now. |
