Correct Answer:
Verified

A 64-bit installation of Windows generally performs better than a 32-bit installation if you have enough RAM. Another advantage of 64-bit installations of Windows is they can support 64-bit applications, which run faster than 32-bit applications. Even though you can install 32-bit applications in a 64-bit OS, for best performance, always choose 64-bit applications. Keep in mind that 64-bit installations of Windows require 64-bit device drivers.
