The consensus here is to get the Abit NF7-S instead... if you are gonna overclock that 2500+ to 3200+ speeds to save money.
I know that Asus makes good boards, and I've used em and never had any trouble (never had trouble with Abit either), but based on the extensive reviews I've done building my new computer I can't see why you would go w/ the Asus over the Abit board.
As for the 64bit vs. 32bit, I assume that the 64 bit makes use of 64 bit registers and instructions. Remember, w/ the 386 they introduced extended registers that could hold 32 bits, but the sx version cheated and sent info in 16 bits 2x (is that right?--memory's fuzzy). 64 bit isn't gonna help you in 32 bit xp, but they do have a *gasp* experimental version of windows that you can dl and beta test.
