[Rwp] 32-bit Plugins in 64-bit Reaper or 32-bit plugins in 32-bit Reaper?

[Jes]

Keith,
I use Reaper 32 on Win7 64-bit all the time, and have never had a single problem. I would stay away from the 64-bit version of Reaper as there's really no advantage to using it over the 32-bit. But if anybody else has any thoughts, please chime in, especially to correct me on anything.
