I believe that this would mean I need to basically format my computer and do a brand new install of Windows 7 bit.

My reason for wanting to switch to bit is because a lot of games nowadays are only being made for bit systems. That seems to be the way things are going. It's the price of progress, I suppose. I know next to nothing about games, so I can't comment on that. But it is certainly true that more and more software of all types will be written for bit Windows and before much more time has passed, only old software will be bit.
Note that the WOW concept is really nothing new. A similar technique was employed by the earliest versions of Windows NT to support legacy bit Windows 3.
Why is this? The bit versions of Vista and Windows 7 include the WOW translation layer for running bit applications see description above. In addition to translating API calls, bit Windows isolates registry changes made by bit applications and redirects them to a special sub-key within the appropriate registry hive. Expanding this key will reveal all of the bit application registry keys and values that have been automatically redirected by WOW.
