1) 2 Gig of RAM means no significant improvement over usage of RAM, that
would be only if you had more than 3 Gigs.
2) Applications generally run faster on 64-bit*.
3) You can "run" most 32-bit programs if you install the ia32-libs package.
But you cant "install" them the normal way though.

*flash might be a bit of a pain, but I think adobe guys provide a
preview-release which should work just fine. You can always use d 32-bit
flash plugin if you have nspluginwrapper installed.
