I personally don’t have any old plugs that i rely on so i personally  run 64 bit version since then it can access more than 4GB of memory if needed. The 64 bit  bit version does have a 32 bit plug in bridge for 32  bit plug in but it doesn’t always work as efficient as it should

My inclination is to use the 64-bit version since I'm on a 64-bit system, and even if I'm sing some 32-bit plugs, the main stuff should run better. I'm happy if that's not the case, but I'd like some specifics. Thanks for the answer BTW, Esp. about Dimension Pro. This isn't really directed at you, it's more general.
