It will be all one package. Most likely, one DVD. And the differences is more like a switch, not entirely different CDs. think of it this way, your car runs fine just on gasoline, but you could put some NOS in there and it would blast off like a rocket. You dont need a whole new car, just a few extra things (in general, not going into details here).

64 BIT supports more memory and stuff(RAM).
But the only thing that needs to be different for 64BIT is the exe, you can just take another one and its fine.(Maybe some DLL's but theyre part of the EXE)

^^ yep it allows the CPU to asses the RAM in 64bit instead of 32, allowing more RAm to me mapped, there for used, it also allows quicker data transfer from the RAM to the CPU, as it uses a 64 bit bus not a 32 bit bus.
