[Vista] New ThinkPad, Vista Version

I am purchasing a new ThinkPad notebook (T-Series), and have the option of getting Vista Business 32 bit or 64 bit. My typical applications include, Adobe CS3, Office 2007 and Blackberry Desktop Manager. The computer will have the new 2.6 Core 2 Duo, and 4 gigs of RAM with the 128 meg video card. Would I see any advantage/disadvantage for going with the 64 bit version? Looking through the forum it looks like there are various driver problems with 64, but wanted to know if I would gain significant speed bumps moving up to it.

Any thoughts?

 The system may have 4GB of RAM but Windows will only see 3-3.5 of it if you go 32-bit. 64-bit Vista will see all of it. As long as there are drivers available for whatever devices you may add (printer, etc.), there is no reason not to go with the 64-bit flavor.
