The only thing a tech illiterate like me understood from Wikipedia is that the 64-bit can process more data than the 32-bit. I'd always thought it would be simple - 32-bit programs for 32-bit computers and 64-bit programs for 64-bit computers, right? But something I've learned since my forays into using JPCSP is that even with a 64-bit computer, 64-bit programs/applications are not the automatic answer (it was well-known that using 64-bit version would cause it to crash or something). Since I have a 64-bit computer, I've wondered whether to get 32- or 64-bit versions of programs. I was just going to redownload WinRAR when the list of options appeared before me and I was struck by the question again.
So really, are you supposed to stick to your bit number, use 32 to ensure stability or does it really not matter?
