Your processor is a 64bit processor so you can run Vista 64 on it.
I'd just like to point out, not sure how it is with Vista 64, but with XP64, driver support is repugnant to say the least (it's very hard to find drivers for not even year old hardware like printers and web cams).

Furthermore, since have less than 4GB or RAM, there is no real benefit that Vista64 will provide over Vista32.
