Choosing 32 bit vs 64 bit Anystream

[Euler]

I tried searching for an answer but regardless of the variation I could come up with, I read
"
RedFox Forum - Error
The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common.

Anyhoo, what reason would one install the 32 bit version vs the 64 bit Anystream version (other than the main one I could come up with of someone using 32 bit windows) ? Curious, does anyone here use 32 bit windows? I have yet to see it in the wild. Is one more likely to be stable?

P.S.
Anyone know of a way to search 64 bit without obtaining the error?

It appears the search requires at least 4 characters per word

For some software (e.g. MS Office) there are Plugins that are not converted to 64bit ... that would be a reason for a 32bit Office installation.

Anystream does not have such plugins (yet?) so there is no reason for a 32bit installation on a 64bit system.

In previous versions, the 64bit version, or rather the browser engine thereof, would not run on 64bit Windows 7. That was a reason for the 32bit version.
That problem has been fixed, so now there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use the 32bit version, unless you have a 32bit Windows.

I'm running a 32bit windows in a virtual machine (VMware) and the only constraint is the memory restriction.
If you are running only one program (guess what) - there is no problem.
