Your notebook has 1GB RAM according to Google, not enough RAM to install a 64-bit operating system. Because of the limited amount of RAM Ubuntu will lag on this laptop. If you want to improve your laptop's performance, you have a choice of installing either Xubuntu 32-bit, which is comparable to Windows Vista in look and feel or Lubuntu 32-bit, which is comparable to Windows XP. In either case you should choose the 14.04 release, because the 14.04 releases of Xubuntu and Lubuntu have long term support for security and maintenance updates until April, 2017.



On the other hand, if your laptop has 2GB RAM, I recommend staying with Ubuntu 32-bit.
