What are the disadvantages of running a 32-bit operating system on a 64-bit computer?

Running a 32-bit operating system limits you to approximately 4 GB of RAM. A 64-bit operating system can address far more memory (more than is actually possible to put in a computer at this point in time). Assuming your system has less than 4 GB of RAM, and you don't have any 64-bit applications you want / need to run, there aren't any real disadvantages. As computers that support more memory become cheaper, however, you'll be able to use less and less of the available functionality.
