This system will support X64 Windows 7. You will not be able to upgrade to the 64 bit version, it will have to be a clean install.
Will it make a difference? Yes and No. Your 32 bit apps will work, and more apps are being wreitten for 64 bit. The next version of Microsoft Office is said to support 64 bit. 64 bit will allow you to use more memory. In my opinion, 64 bit version is faster than the 32 bit version.
I don't think you would be disappointed if you put the 64 bit version on this laptop.
