64bit supports more than 4GB RAM. Thats about it.

the other differences are:
64bit gives u a whole 32 more bits
allows your processor to process 64 bits at a time
and does not support certain hardware

You'd think so. Actually, most 32-bit processors have been able to work on 80 bits at a time, the [typical] size of a real in C.

EDIT: You should note that the floating point registers in the new 64-bit processors are actually 128 bit wide.

was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
