If you install 64-Bit, you could upgrade to more RAM one day in the future if you wanted.
There are no other differences.
 
Directly from Windows FAQ -
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows?
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.

Kenrou has you taken care of, but just in case you wanted to read/know more...
