At 4GB, the amount of memory "lost" which you might regain by going with 64-bit Windows will be mostly offset by the larger memory footprint of the 64-bit machine code.  Whatever small gain you end up with in the  end won't be worth the trouble (trouble being that most people will run into something they used to use that doesn't work on 64-bit Windows).

yeah, but i don't know how anyone can stand having bytes of unaddressable RAM in their PCs, especially when they had to pay for it :p
