For 2Gb RAM it is good to use 32 bit – sourav c. Jan 13 '14 at 16:49

The real issue comes down to two things:
Is your system equipped with a 64-bit processor? You can usually accomplish this by finding out the specs for the machine.
If it's not a 64-bit processor, then you can't use a 64-bit operating system.
If it IS a 64-bit processor, you can install either the 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. But note that a 32-bit operating system can't ever use more than 4 gb of RAM. If you ever decide to increase your RAM, the 32-bit operating system will have this limitation, but the 64-bit operating system will not.
