In theory 64b OS brings a bigger chance for incompatibility, but in practice I haven't stumbled into any trouble yet. Be wary if you run a lot of old software though.

64b is faster in some applications, the same or slower in others. Also uses a bit more memory because of larger registers. All things considered, the pros and cons imho are actually negligible, apart from being able to address over 4GB of memory space.
