No, 64bit OS will not slow your computer down.

Install whichever you like.

so why is 64bit better ?

Long story short, it supports more RAM. and more is better

and because most motherboards today support more than 4gb of RAM. my board is 2 years old and supports 8gig

Yes, depending on whether the application is optimized for 64bit install.

If not, it will install in the (x86) Program files and run in 32bit.
