what u want is to stay 32bit, 64 isnt well supported yet so thats a no no
there is currently a 64-bit OS, and i think that 32 bit programs still run on it just fine.
also the 64 bit cpu still works fine with 32 bit programs....im currently running one as we speak.
64 is the eventual future, so why not be prepared for it?
