64 Bit.
All core i series processors are 64 bit processors.

Go for the 64 bit version.
There is no real reason to go for the 64 bit OS. Really. Unless you have some legacy application.

*edit*
My bad. Its 64 bit. not 62. Now corrected.

lol :-D


The advantage is mainly that 64 bit OS can support more than 4GB of memory, while a 32 bit OS cant.
