With that read most operating system nowadays, both pre-loaded and OEM disc versions, come with 64bit and 32bit. My question was if there is any benefits to 32bit if you have the choice between the 32 and 64.

Yes there is a big difference, from a 32 BIT pc and 32 BIT OS compared to a 64 BIT machine with 64 BIT OS.
In terms of virtually everything, but notably the RAM, SPEED and Cores but more importantly you can run more programs at the same time and the assigning of tasks to your multicore 64B cpu is much more efficient just to point out a big difference.
However 64B is backwards compatible with 32b as not every program is yet written in 64b

@Alkajak N.nvt posted the right answer, u should read. Also these days most PC games supports 64 bit architecture, he forget to mention that

Thanks a ton for the answers. I guess the only con to 64bit OS is some drivers not being compatible yet.

Correct but thats why backwards compatibility comes in to play for some drivers.

Furthermore, a 64bit operating system can access more ram, whereas in a 32bit environment 4gb is the limit!

The only reason I'm running 32bit Windows is I have only 2GB of RAM. I had 4GB but 2GB are dead

Everything updates from Windows Update except Bluetooth and Card Reader.
I had used DriverGenius but since I've found this I don't need it anymore

Because you have an integrated graphics card, built-in graphic cards getting its vRAM(memory) from your RAM. You can control how much it takes from your RAM in BIOS settingsMine was 3.1 GB when i was a 32 bit user

Added Debut Video Capture [from NCH Softwares]
It's the best video/audio/screenshot capture software I've tested, in terms of lightness when capturing, watermark, subtitle, video effect options and export size/quality and it's free (there's upgrade to paid version option through the program)
But...
Users are advised to pay attention while installing this ad-supported application:
I suggest all users to download the free version from Softpedia link since on the NCH page it will lead you to download the paid version
I needed to add the setup and execution file of the program to the exclusion list in ESET.
When you try to install the program, new window opens up showing you to install some other of NCH programs such as their video converter, audio editor and others so you need to uncheck those if you don't need it.
Also
program itself is messing with a registry a little bit.
It adds a lot a new registry keys to your registry (yet another trick to download more of their software)
Just informing...

Hi Bora. I liked your configuration, and shall check out NHC on Softpedia. Thanks!
By the way, have you considered upgrading to ESET Smart Security 8 yet?
