Will 64-Bit Windows OS run in Parallels

Question

dont know if this is the right place, but i'm looking at buying Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit to run on my Mac (although i expect to hardly use it). I'll be using Parallels Desktop 4.0 as opposed to Bootcamp, was just wondering before i buy, does Parallels support 64-Bit Windows OS or is it best to stick to 32-Bit?
thanks in advance
