I have both a 32 and 64 bit copy of windows 7 ultimate. I will be doing a bootcamp install, but which version should I do? 2010 i7 2.93 iMac with 12g ram and 1g video. I'll mainly be using a couple of programs from work and a game or two.... Thanks

Thanks. Both are legal with keys.

Will some programs have difficulty running on the 64 bit level?

Since the introduction of Windows Vista, 64-bit has gotten a lot more popular due to 32-bit version's limitations. Windows 7 took this one step further. As long as you aren't running software that is very outdated, you shouldn't have any issues.
