My first post. Successfully migrated from win 7 to ubuntu 12.04.1 on my samsung netbook. working smoothly. But I had installed 32 bit version. Is there any advantage of going in for 64 bit? What are the risks. Ram Prasad

  • Depending on your netbook (which?) you may have a 32-bit CPU only. You won't be able to run and install 64-bit Ubuntu then. – Takkat Sep 10 '13 at 14:31

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Try reading this answer What are the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit, and which should I choose? and this website http://www.howtogeek.com/165144/htg-explains-should-you-use-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-edition-of-ubuntu-linux/

They should answer your question, if not, try googling difference between ubuntu 32 bit and 64 bit. That brought up several good sites.
