32 v 64 bit

I know 64 bit allows for more RAM and runs slightly faster but is that all there is? Does anyone have a detailed explanation of 32 vs 64 bit windows? I am ordering a few new computers and am curious if I should get 32 or 64 bit. I would get 64 bit but I am not sure if it will have problems with certain programs. Any opinions?

well its a business machine so wont be any games and in all honestly the 3GB (3.25 or whatever it actually uses) is enough for what they will be doing which is why I am asking this question. I think I will go with 64-bit just because. Thanks for the replies.

Without a price difference, I would go with 64bit.
note that MS recommends always installing the 32bit version of Office 2010 if you will share documents with any earlier versions or with 32bit Office 2010.
