No, not really. 64-bit will address more memory, so under the right circumstances (4GB+ RAM) it will be better than 32-bit. Seeing as you have 4GB of RAM, you'll get the full 4GB rather than 3.xGB, but in a blind test I doubt very much anyone could tell ~500MB difference in RAM.

It's more futureproof though, 64-bit applications will slowly become standard so having a system capable of taking advantage of that is a benefit in itself.
