i wont suggest you 'beta' version. its in a test stage and you might get problems with beta. 10.1 is stable.
there isn't any visible performance difference between 32bit and 64bit versions. check this link !

i read that 10.2 has many improvements over 10.1

i read the advantages and disadvantages, but do u suggest that i get a 64bit suse linux?

64bit would be the better version for you

If you read the thread that was linked to, you'll know that I personally don't think 64-bit is worth your time at this point. I suggest you stick with 32-bit.
