I don't see any reason not to get 64-bit if your CPU supports it.

This is gonna take a little getting used to.

i hate 64bit.. it limits your overclock because of the extra registers your cpu has to calcuate which decreases stabilty.

until software can actually utilize 8gb of ram im staying 32bit

I am confused prodigy you have 8 gbs of ram in your rig and only run a 32 bit OS???

It probably means you weren't stable in the first place.

actually when toms hardware did a review on the phenom II 955 there overclock was 200mhz less than on a 32bit OS. and in the conclusion of the review they said almost every chip theyve overclocked behaves the same way on a 64bit os

Speak for yourself. I utilize more than 4GB+ of ram daily.
