Apples has one version of OSX. There is more of a difference than how much RAM it can use. OSX is 64 bit, ALWAYS. It has a backwards compatibility layer to run 32-bit programs, but the OS is 64.

Windows is either 64 or 32, but the 64 bit version has no backwards compatibility layer, so it's not the OS that you have to watch, it's buying new software.

If you're refering to the botnet that broke out in April, Apple fixed that security hole a few days after it was discovered. There have been thousands of Mac viruses written, currently, not one of them is a threat, the security holes that they took advantage of have all been fixed.
