Why > use 32 bit? I certainly don't understand why you'd need to. It seems to be easier to find 32-bit binaries for libraries. For example, the official Windows build of pygame is only 32-bit. If 64-bit only works for you though, then by all means use it.

There doesn't appear to be an official Windows build of pygame at all, if you want anything more recent than Python 3.1.
