SCCM Default Boot Image during PXEBoot

If you use PXE technology when deploying computers in ConfigMgr, how do you determine which Boot Image (64-bit x64 or 32-bit x86) is deployed to the computer?

When advertising a Task Sequence to a collection, the Task Sequence has a default boot image assigned to it.  When the computer is placed into that collection and then PXE Booted, the PXE Boot process will use the boot image that is selected in the LAST Task Sequence advertised to the collection. 

So, when deploying a new model of computer and if you place your Disk and or Network drivers into the 64-bit boot image there is a possibility that the PXE process will run the 32-bit boot image because it was the last boot image advertised to the collection.
