If you run it under a 32bit OS, it'll download 32bit win8 image,
run on a 64bit OS, it'll download a 64bit image. That's the only difference AFAIK
Also running the assistant under windows 8 will fail with "not available in your country"
unless you run it in compatibility mode - well it did for me.
No need to download the ISO multiple times though - I've bought lots of keys at £25 each
- what I did was run the assitant multiple times to get keys (cancelling the download).
The first time I downloaded the ISO, and copied it to a USB pendrive.
Then boot/ install from that pendrive using the keys above on each PC

Guys,
What's the latest on his. What's the cheapest way to get Win 8 up and running currently.
Re: How to potentially get win 8 pro for only £25
Go to Microsoft's Windows 8 site. You can still get it for £24.99 until the end of the month.
Re: How to potentially get win 8 pro for only £25
Can i use a 32 bit key with a 64 bit iso, should i choose to upgrade later?
Re: How to potentially get win 8 pro for only £25
Yes, I have done it myself
Re: How to potentially get win 8 pro for only £25
You can get it cheaper if you get a promo-code from http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/, select Other PC and put other in all fields, add valid email address, put in your computer was purchased recently November - January 2013.
Legitimate if you recently bought one, not if you have not. £10 off the upgrade amount of £25
Use at own discretion.
