Most computers sold today are 64 bit, if you see a 32 bit only computer for sale then avoid it like the plague as it is redunlkulously out of date!! If your PC is 6 years old or less then it should be 64bit.
Windows 7 comes in both flavours and if your PC is 6 years or less then you should be running 64bit Windows 7 or 64bit Windows 8. With the upgrade version of Windows 8 being so cheap on launch there is no excuse!

Please EA give us a 64 bit version as a patch or something!
Most of the versions of Windows 8 currently being sold, or even preloaded, are 32-bit. Windows 8 was released in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
