I'm running Win 8 x64, and I'm wondering which version of office to install, the x86 version or the x64? It seems to be me that an office app really shouldn't need more that 2GB of memory, so there's no reason to install the x64 version, as it'll just take up more memory than the x86 version.
Are there some advantages to running the x64 version that I've over looked?

You should install the 32-bit (x86) version unless you need to work with extremely large spreadsheets or documents.
This Microsoft page explains why.
