There's no such thing as x32, well, at least it's not called that. x86 processors are 32-bit and x64 processors are 64-bit and 32-bit but also fall under the x86 specification.
I'll stop confusing you now and you don't need to know any of that with Vista because the retail versions come with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions on the same disc. If you have a 64-bit processor, it will ask you if you want to install the 64-bit version or 32-bit version. Since you don't even know what processor you have... my guess is... you aren't exactly that... well, anyway you would probably be better off sticking with the 32-bit version because
64-bit driver support is fairly poor and if you don't know how to find them you may be out of luck. 32-bit drivers won't work in a 64-bit environment and so on and so forth, I've explained this many many times and I don't feel like doing it again. Suffice it to say you are better off with 32-bit for now.
To satisfy your own curiosity about your processor, download CPUz, it will tell you everything you want to know about it, http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

This isn't meant to be rude, but if you don't know the answer to this question, you won't see any difference b/w 64 and 32 bit at this point. The amount of software optimized for 64 bit on desktop computers can be counted on one hand. It's marketing buzz at this point and nothing more.
