since you have 512MB i'd say go for 32bit... but if your looking into having more than 3gb's of RAM in the future... the 32bit is more than enough... also another alternative to having 64bit is to get Vista.... but thats another story

Planned Rig of 2007: .. But things don't go according to plan! My Actual Rig, 2009:
As stated. 64 Bit wont do yo any good. Even without 3GB as they say. It is jsut that the apps that do run in 64BIt mode wont be any faster since you only run 512MB RAM. If you had 2GB i would say go for it. You would notice some difference in some apps. But overall 64 Bit is still not where it should be. When Apps like WinRar lead the way for 64Bit and mutli core usage it isnt a good sign.
