Which version would you recommend--32bit or 64bit--for installation on a Macbook (about 2 years old) with 4 Gig max of RAM?

If you don't know which one you need, x86.
It's also very difficult to recommend as we don't know your system specs, how/if you'd benefit from x64 architecture, if you can even run it...etc.
See #9 here.

I don't know whether the advisor will run unless I install some version of Windows first.

It's important that I know ahead of time whether to get 32bit or 64bit.

Thanks for your help.
