If I would happen to use 32 bit for my os, is 3gb or 4 just wasting money?

Yes - that's right - provided that you're not using memory hungry server applications.

and?
they both run very well on 2gb
(2gb gives performance on vista equal to about that of 1gb on xp, if you are using aero)

Yes I agree. I tried 64-bit just long enough to find out that I couldn't find a video driver. So I went back to 32-bit os and tossed the 64-bit CD into the trash where it will take about 10,000 years to decompose.

I have that setup on two different hard drives -- XP Pro 32 bit on Drive C: and Vista Home Premium on Drive D:. Didn't have a problem with it. Just run the compatability program you can get free from M$ before installing Vista. If everything tests ok then you probably won't have any problems.
