Thanks.

I don’t get the 32 vs 64 bit thing. Is that solely up to what OS you use?

Yes. Unless you have a large number of legacy apps you need to support there is no reason not to go with a 64-bit OS. By now all the 64-bit drivers, apps and plug ins are available (which isn't necessarily the case when it's first released.)

Partly. Your processor has to be physically designed to use 64 bits versus 32, then the OS has to turn the 64 bit capabilities on within the processor, then the software you run has to be design for 64 bits as well.
