MS Windows 32bit vs. 64bit

"The key consideration is RAM: 32-bit Windows can address only 3.5GB, while 64-bit Windows can address 4GB or more. Because so many new PCs come with at least 4GB, that's why you're seeing Windows x64 as the default OS."

P.S.: But, I must report that this my HP 2730p with 4Gb RAM work faster with 64bit versions of MS Windows and OpenSuse.
