The computer in question is a Gateway laptop MX6426 with AMD TURION 64 Mobil Technology ML-40 processor; 2.19 GHz 1 Gb RAM.  Currently running Windows XP SP3 Media Center Edition which is 32 bit.

I believe the processor is 64 bit, but if so why would they put a 32 bit system on it at the factory?

If I dual boot Linux Lite, would I be better off with 32 bit or 64 bit OS?  Pros/Cons?

Any thoughts appreciated, the 32/64 bit thing is pretty vague to me.  Thanks!
