32 or 64 bit Windows 7 professional for this build?

I'm building a computer, here are the specs. I don't know whether to get 32 or 64 bit Windows 7. What's the difference? What are the advantages? Thanks.



CPU: Core i7 - 920 Quad Core CPU

Video Card: Radeon HD 5850

Ram: 6GB @1600

Motherboard: MSI MicroATX X58M

HDD: WD Caviar 750 GB 7200RPM|||Windows 7 makes a 86X folder on your C: drive for 32 bit applications and a regular "program files" folder. I switched from XP to Win 7 64bit and everything works correctly. One time ago there was capability issues, but that was with Vista. A 64 bit system recognizes over 4 gigs of ram and utilizes quad core. Other than that I do not know what its good for.
