64bit, no question. Unless you're using hardware from the stoneage you can almost definitely find drivers.
Do you have any older software? Chances are, most newer software runs under Windows 7 x64. Software not working is the exception, not the rule these days.
How far back would you say is safe? Does most software run on 32 and 64 bit platforms? I do have a video game from the 90's I like to install and play once in a while.
What about software issues?
Can I install Win 7 64bit in a 32bit XP environment via Virtual PC 2007 and try 32 bit software I have to see what happens?
I can't believe people are still asking this question.

Unless you're running some very old games or business software, you're not going to have any major issues from going to a 64bit OS. I've been running x64 since Vista was released, and I've yet to come across an app that I used in XP32 that didn't work in x64. Might as well make the jump now, becasue soon, Microsoft will start releasing their OS's in only 64bit. They've already stated that Server 2008 will be the last server version with 32bit support.

I've been only using 32 bit so far. My concern is if I go 64bit if I will run into hardware or software issues.
Can anyone help out with this concern?
