32, because 64 is double that, just like the way ram works the amount multiples.
Anyway, 64 bit computers are better because they have smaller pixels so everything is better quality I don't know much about it personally but I have a 64 bit pc and a 32 bit pc and the quality of both are extremely different 32 = good 64 = HD you know 16 bit = Old very poor quality (earliest xp and 2000 computers etc)

64bit usually gives a slightly better speed
if you want to know more about architecture , read the article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture
:P
and its all about the CPU , not the graphics card

Don't you mean
its not
tits ? :lol:
And 64 bit allows more RAM Usage than a 32 bit computer

Yeah but sometimes you'll get big problems in visual basic with 64 bit. You'll often get "Failed to load dll" errors if you want to add custom controls (made me very mad today). Some programs that use 16 bit stuff will crash. But still, 64 is better

It is not called 86-bit. The instruction sets for these processor types are named i386 (32-bit) and ia64 (64-bit).
64-bit just allows a greater amount of physical memory to be addressed, you won't see a speed increase unless you are using more memory than what 32-bit addresses can reach, and you would also need to be running 64-bit software.

Well almost every software has their 64 bit editions
