32-bit vs. 64-bit, does it matter?

Hello,

I currently have Office 2010 32-bit running on my computer. I have been looking for a site where I can purchase MS Visio 2010 (downloadable). One place which seems to have the best price I have found offers Visio 2010 downloadable but I cannot find anywhere that says whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit.

The site has live chat to speak with someone in sales support.  The response to my question is that whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit only matters if you are getting the media shipped to you. They specify one or the other so that they know which disc to send. For the download version however, I was told it doesn't matter since the downloaded software comes with both versions.

I'm not really sure what the functional difference is between 32-bit and 64-bit or if making sure the Visio software I get is the same as my current office software.  Also, I just want to make sure (from my trusted friends at EE) that what I am being told is valid or legitimate.

I suppose it's OK to post the name of the seller since I'm not doing a commercial for them but maybe if someone is familiar with them it will help to verify they are legitimate (or not).  The site is:  SoftwareSavingsWorld.com and the price for the Visio 2010 is $104.

Thanks
