64bit vs 32bit software
Some software is available in either 64bit or 32bit. An example is Calibre eBook manager. Other than the ability to access more memory using 64bit, is there any advantage using 64bit?

Additionally with 64bit OS requirement you WILL need MORE memory.. 32bit Windows OS memory access STOPS at 3.2 GB of RAM, it cannot see or use any more memory above 3.2 GB..
IF you're still running Windows XP this is true. Vista and forward can access beyond 4gb even as 32bit. The limitation is, a 32bit application can only access one 4gb table at a time. Multiple applications can therefore make use of more than 4gb even with a 32bit OS.
