Win7 is at its heart a 64 bit OS. The server version of Win7 (Server 2008 R2) doesn't even come in a 32 bit version. I don't know what the retail packaging will look like but my guess is that both versions are in the box.

BTW I put server 2008 R2 (64 bit) on a 4 year old Irwindale 2P system (a ProLiant DL380 G4), upgraded to 16GB RAM. Performance is at least 2x the 32 bit OS it was running, a lot more in some apps. All of the HW was identified without issue. I think this OS will give a new lease on life to a lot of aging but still viable systems.
