645-bit Windows 7 should serve you well. Ultimate does come in both
32-bit and 64-bit, but but that's not really significant.

If you find any 16-bit based program that won't run on 64-bit you can
always install a Virtual Machine program and run most of those type
programs there. Microsoft has an XP Mode VM for Win 7 Professional and
Ultimate. And, if you really need to run some old programs, there is
DOSBox.

So, enjoy you 64-bit Win 7!
