Yes, you can install Ubuntu 32bit on a 64bit system, and contrary to popular belief, it will be able to use all of your memory (not just 4GB). Just install it using the Linux PAE kernel (installed by default) and everything will run exactly the same. PAE stands for Physical Address Extension, and it is the technology that allows the software to access over 4GB of RAM.
