I don't know much about computers, but, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure 64bit allows you to add as much ram as you can pack in, wheras 32bit allows you a maximum of 4g of ram... So definitely worth the stretch if you want to configure a fast PC.
I got my PC from Inta Audio with 64bit quad core and running 8g of ram, definitely worth it!
Even with a 64bit computer you'll most probably end up running a 32bit daw anyway. Besides, most plugins haven't reached 64bit status yet and will require a 'bridge' if running in a 64bit daw, which ends up using just as much CPU as running a 32bit daw.
So basically no point running 64bit daw for the moment, but good to have a computer that's capable nonetheless.
32bit allows you to realize up to 8GB of RAM, not just 4GB. so unless you want more than 8GB of RAM, you won't need 64bit

In windows (all versions) you can only see 4GB of RAM in 32 bits. Dunno about MAC's tho.
If you want to use more than 4 GB RAM in windows u need 64bit OS.
