Windows Vista is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit editions, but they are separate versions, so you have to decide which version you want to use and then stick with it.

As the others have said, the 64 bit version appears to have no real advantages over the 32 bit version for a majority of normal users (even if your processor is 64 bit capable), and can actually have some distinct disadvantages.
