Whether you should run 32bit OS or 64bit OS mainly depends on your processor rather than on your RAM!

If your processor is capable of running 64bit OS (almost all latest processors are capable of running 64bit OS) Then you should install 64bit OS. If is not the case then you should install 32bit OS.

Talking about RAM:

If you install a 32bit OS then the Maximum RAM supported by your system will be 4GB.

If you install a 64bit OS then you can install more than 1TB of RAM!
