64-bit executables are slightly larger and have a bigger memory 
footprint than 32-bit executables.  The differences will be tough to 
notice unless you've got less than 512M of RAM.  I had no problems 
running 64-bit distros years ago on a machine with 1G of RAM, but that 
was before KDE 4 and insane firefox bloat.  64-bit and 4G RAM works just 
fine.  You'll probably be OK with 2G and maybe even 1G.
