OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
I have recently purchased an OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium and have noticed that it's stated on the disc that the CD only installs 32-bit. So i was wondering what the difference is between 32-bit and 64-bit.

The main notable difference is that 64-bit will allow you to use more than 4Gigs of memory, but there is not a lot of "true" 64-bit software yet and not a lot of hardware support for it either.
