It depends on what you're doing and what you're running - if you're going x64, make sure that you have all drivers for your hardware (signed drivers!), and all of your software is x64 compatible (most is, but some apps have trouble under x64). Also, any antivirus and antispyware 32bit applications will need to be replaced with x64 versions, as you cannot install 32bit filter drivers in x64, no exceptions.
