I would always say 64 bit but it dependes on drivers - you need to check availability. As for home or pro version the home version will do nicely as the pro has stuff you will never use and is mainly for business networks etc.

OK now the biggy retail or OEM - you can buy the OEM but if it goes wrong somewhere down the line and you have to reinstall you will have to ring Microsoft to get the key reactivated. Because you are not a manufacturer they wont do it then your fucked!
