What you can do is install a time demo version. I have a few copy's of 180 day versions. install, update then flog as a time demo. anyone with half a brain knows that a time demo can be permenantly disabled. even the built in time demo has a facility to reset itself 4 times that gives you 2 years of free computing personally i wipe my pc about once every 6 months anyway. to many porn sites!!

Some software will actually run slower on win7 64bit than 32bit. The software actually needs to be written to take advantage of the 64bit architecture (you'd be surprised how little still is only 32bit). When you run a 32bit program on a 64bit system, the OS has to adapt the program so it works properly- the process is called thunking.
I have had a couple of so called 64bit laptops that were full of problems - these systems were formatted and reinstalled with 32bit and have run flawlessly ever since. Basically 32bit has a lot more support and the drivers are mature. 32bit out of the box is definitely "snappier"
Generally though if you can run 64bit then you should (unless running legacy software that will not run under 64bit) as things are only going to move forward.
Tip of the day: If you cannot find a win7 driver then try to install a Vista driver manually - most of the time they work very well.
You can also allow 32 bit windows so you can use more of the ram so you get best of both worlds if you know how
