SQL Server 2012. 32 or 64 bit?

[ColdDay]

I currently have SS2005 Express on my laptop. I was wanting to dl SS2012 Express with Advanced services from the MS site, but it gave me the choice of 32 or 64 bit. I have no idea which I should dl.

Does it matter?

Will there be any issues since I currently have 2005?

Thanks for the help.

The 'bit' is dependant upon your operating system. Right click on the 'My Computer' icon, select Properties. On the General tab, in the System information it will say 64 bit if your computer is a 64 bit system. If it doesn't say 64 bit, your system is a 32 bit system. You need to install the proper version for your system.
