32 or 64 bit Windows? Need advice!

Sup y'all... I plan on isntalling Windows 7 on my system, but I hesitate which version should it be. 32 bit or 64 bit? I've heard that 64 bit has benefits if you have more than 4GB RAM, but I don't have that much, so I ask myself is it necessery?

My specs are:

Intel C2D E8200 @2,7GHz x8

1X2GB RAM Corsair 800MHz + 1X1GB RAM Kingston 800MHz = 3GB

Should I use the x32 or x64 version and why? I need some quick advice...

Thank you :)

Theres absoultely no reason to stick with 32-bits unless you are a business using old legacy software that absolutely cant function under a 64-bit environment.

Well, I'm using a 32bit system right now and everything works just fine... But friends keep telling me that 64 was faster that 64 was blablablaa... But I have only 3GB RAM so will I have any benefits from running the 64bit version?

There is absolutely no reason for you not to use the 64-bit version.

@Xsaolls - If you say so... What about the compatibility issues with games? I'd like to run all my games on it...

@rock_solid - Yes, I'm gonna Format the whole hard disk before isntalling it :)

Okay thank you very much guys for the quick response ;) I owe you one!

You'll be fine 32-bit but why would you? Its a thing of the past. For the PC community to fully benefit from the advantages of 64-bit, more people need to make the switch. Theres really no reason to stay 32 other than to stop progress.
