    You should buy a cheap 4gb stick of ram and install windows 64bit.

    Definitely 32 bit.
    1 GB of RAM will not work correctly with 64B.

    There is no need to get the 32 bit, if you can upgrade the RAM in that machine, which you should, I would get the 64 bit.

    64 bit binaries and their memory footprints are larger than 32-bit, just a fact of life. So a higher memory requirement for 64-bit is to be expected.
