you probably mean 2GB RAM.
 more ram is better.

a 64 bit system will be able to run both 32 and 64 bit software.
64bit software support is getting better al the time so 64bit hardware 
is a good investment.
i'm running a 64bit ubuntu "server" on a cheap asrock k8nf4g motherboard 
and all hardware works out of the box.
