Basically, your PC is strong enough to run games at good speeds no matter if you're running a 32-bit OS or a 64-bit OS since you have a fast processor. If you really wanted to get some extra speed, then sure, go with the 64-bit, but it's not really needed.
In my case and my laptop in my sig, my processor is kinda slow, so I would need every extra boost I can get and it's better to go with the 64-bit OS.
go with x64. When so when you upgrade the ram you won't have to do a clean install to upgrade the os
thanks for the info, I was also wondering will i get any slowdowns with x64 in general and in gaming or will it be smooth?
it won't give you any slowdowns nor speedups until you upgrade your rig.
Get it anyway it should sell for the same price
it will be no faster or slower
so what your saying is x86 and x64 will run at the same speeds, but if i get another 2gb ram x64 will show performance increase?
yep thats exactly what were saying

Well , the only purpose of having a x64 system is for managing large amounts of RAM ( And play f-zero xD )
thanks for the help, ok i will go with x64 then. After i sell some more of my stuff i will add more ram.

Like, when you play in Kaillera like Dolphin, if you have few RAM like me =/ it will crash due to the process of the Kaillera Server and Dolphin together.
