FM 12 in Parallels using Win7

[Davis, David]

32bit and 64bit Windows 7 are functionally identical except that 32bit can only use about 2½ gigs of your RAM before it has to start paging things on and off the hard disk,
Whereas as 64bit can address more RAM than you can install on any motherboard currently available in the shops....

I had a quick search but couldn't see that this issue has been discussed recently.

I'm in the process of upgrading to FM 12 using Win7 in Parallels on a Mac Pro. My question is simple: which is best, 32-bit Win7 or 64-bit Win7?
