Obviously 64-bit apps consume more memory. However I was surprised to find that a do-nothing WinForm app in VS 2005 actually consumes around double the amount when running as 64-bit:

Important to bear in mind if you are contemplating the switch.

Well, the other side of the coin is that you might add a lot more than 2GB of RAM to a 64-bit system. If you are currently using a 32-bit system with 2GB of RAM that *still* uses the swap file every now and then, you should probably contemplate switching to a 64-bit system with more than 4GB of memory.
