There shouldn't be any visual differences between the versions.

The filesystem and partition aren't bound to 32-bit or 64-bit.

Did you get your video drivers then configure them?
press alt + f2
type gksudo jockey-gtk
then put your password in the password field
select and install your drivers when prompted.

I don't think that was the issue, but who knows. Maybe you need video drivers.
Do you know what video card you have?
You can use lspci to find out.
