Makes no odds - the only main difference, clock speed etc aside, is the
ability to address >4GB RAM.

If you are short of funds then why are you buying a depreciating asset like
a computer????
 
Why do you feel you need a 64bit CPU???
Is your mobo capable of 64bit??
What OS/Programs do you use that need 64bit??

Your question indirectly indicated that you reall had no need for 64-bit
OS. So don't think about it anymore! :)
