Right now, I'm using Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz with 2.00 GB RAM running Windows 7 32bit RC. At the moment, everything runs quite smoothly (by my standards), so should I upgrade to 64bit?

I use my computer mainly for word processing, internet, and occasionally games and movies (though I find that the computer lags when playing newer games or when watching HD movies)
No, it wouldn't make a difference now. But when you do install the final version, you can go either way. With 2GB of ram, it won't make much of a difference either way.
