Well, use 64bit only you are doing Lot of CPU intensive tasks & have more than 3Gb of ram.

Cons:
Less Hardware support
Less Software Support
Some Extra configuration required

Pros.
Works Faster than 32bit.
Like i am into C programming, so 64bit Compiler help me lot.
as in normal TC, an interger can store a value upto 2^32, while with 64 bit its 2^64
which means, i don't need to use any other datatype like long_int etc etc
