IE8 32 bit vs. 64 bit

I have just installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7. It has a 32 bit and 64 bit version of IE8. When I use the 64 bit version some things do not work such as Roboform. What is the advantage of using the 64 bit version?

The advantage of having a 32-bit and 64-bit browser is, that 64-bit applications can embed the browser too, not only 32-bit
applications.

Currently there is no need to access more than 4GB of memory for browsers.

Hi,
You will not be bothered by all those Flash animations that fill up your
screen and your bandwidth.
Flash is, still, not available in 64-bit.
