The 64 bit version has no advantage for you and likely would only be a liability. It is only useful if you need to run applications that can benefit from more than 4gb of Ram (that's what the 64 bit gets you, a larger maximum addressable memory). Which is mostly stuff like video editing, heavy duty 3d animation work (like Pixar Movies) and large databases. Considering that you probably can't even put more than 4gb of Ram in the laptop, it would be completely pointless. Also the 64 bit version of Vista is going to have hardware and software incompatibilities, since a significant amount of stuff doesn't have drivers for the 64 bit OS versions.There is one major problem with using an Macbook or Macbook Pro as a windows notebook, namely that there is only one "mouse" button. Though, there are workarounds for this and of course you can always use an external mouse.</blockquote>
