I think I will just use Vista for gaming and a bit photoshop or photo editing stuffs?

What is the big differences with 32 and 64 bit?

Going to use with the new MBP 17"

please give me some suggestion
 
The only difference is that a 64-bit machine supports more than 4Gb of addressable RAM .... which i don't think you're likely to hit on a VMware partition
 
I can't speak to Parallels, but if you run any specific hardware that would require a 64-bit Windows driver, that's usually the problem. If a vendor doesn't make a 64-bit driver then you might be better off with 32-bit Windows.
