Actually I was able to use the full 4GB on my notebook with 32-Bit 
Ubuntu.  IIRC on older versions (I believe 9.04 and lower) I had to use 
the server kernel, but on newer versions it just worked.

Saying that I'm running the 64-Bit version at the moment although I am 
seriously considering going back to the 32-Bit version as some stuff I 
have has niggly problems (I can't for the life of me get the LogMeIn 
plugin working and I can't figure out the plugin wrapper).
