A 64 bit computer should be able to run a 32 bit OS
if you decide for some reason to not go with the 64
bit OS.

A 64bit machine will run 32bit just fine only thing is 64bit in some ways is faster and you can use more then 3.75GB RAM. With 64bit I believe the limit is like 16TB.

well, the theoretical limit is 2^64, go ahead and plug that in your calculator to see how big the number is
