General guidelines (roughly in order):
If software (or hardware drivers) require 32 or 64 bits, use that.
Up to 2 GB memory: 32 bits
Processes over 2 GB memory usage: 64 bits.
msWindows up to 4 GB memory: 32 bits
Linux from 3 GB upwards: 64 bits
msWindows from 4 GB upwards: 64 bits

The above is general. I donnot see myth to be any different. Only if you 
use huge amounths of video processing (transcoding and such), you can 
use the memory and addressing of 4 GB and 64 bits.
