64 bit has slightly higher minimum requirements, but other than that, no particular issues. Make sure your hardware has 64 bit drivers (not typically an issue, if you're coming from a vista system.)
No issues with COH here - been running it since the public beta, 64 bit.
I haven't had any problems with the 64bit version, either with any program or CoX.
64bit is quickly becoming the standard too and lets you use more that 4 gigs of RAM properly.
Edit: Although it's not a problem per se, if you ever have the option of a 32bit or 64bit program, go with the 64bit one since it's designed to work on a 64bit OS.
And as said above, make sure your graphics drivers and what not are the 64bit versions.
Been running Win7 Home 64x for just shy of a year now, and no problems with CoH, or anything else.

I have Windows 7 64 bit and am having issues w/CoH (there's a thread about it on here)....but I think it's something with Liberty and/or live servers...I have frame rate issues while playing on live but when I'm on test there's no issues.
I didn't have any issues up until i19 if that helps

My recommendation is to install the 64-bit version. 64-bit nowadays is fairly mature, and Vista 64 was basically the largest transition towards 64-bit compatibility. This does not mean every program out there runs at 64-bit. Most programs run at 32-bit, but is compatible with a 64-bit OS simply due to the drivers. At the beginning of Vista, 64-bit was largely new and drivers were not always available for 64-bit. Nowadays it is common for newer hardware to supply 64-bit drivers for both Vista and Windows 7.
Personally, I don't have a problem with CoH, having ran it on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64.
I'm having some issues with my OS and have decided to flatten and reload my PC. I've been running Vista Home Premium for at least a couple of years and have decided to reload with Win7 Pro.
Does anyone have any advice on whether to load the 32 or 64-bit version? My rig should be able to take advantage of the 64-bit capabilities; any downsides to running that version in general and in particular to CoX?
