  • That depends on usage. What do you plan to do with that notebook an ubuntu? – Ice Dec 27 '13 at 22:53
  • In times past, 32 bit was better supported, so unless you really needed 64 bit or you really enjoyed tracking down bugs in things like flash player, 32 bit was the better choice. The last three versions, I've used 64 bit with no problems. – Marc Dec 28 '13 at 00:18

Ubuntu's website recommends installing the 64 bit version unless "you have an older PC with less than 2GB of memory." That seems like solid advice to me.
