New computer, curious about a couple things...

Hi guys, well I'm back up and running after setting up a newer computer, discovering what works with Win7 and what doesn't. My DSL was not, and therefore I couldn't be online for about a week. So I went to reinstall some of my favorite programs for painting, music production...but, they weren't compatible either. So I'm really starting from scratch here again. I don't even have the sim re-installed yet. But, this gives me a chance to think about how I would like to run this Quad core. So I'm wondering if anybody could give me some advice on how to set up a 32bit system for daily needs, and also on another drive, a 64 bit install for graphics and speed. What to configure in the BIOS, and I'm unfamiliar with RAID setups but am wondering if this would be best to keep the task of running FS9 smooth and efficiently taking advantage of this 6Gb of RAM. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
