64-bit can make use of up to 8 GBs of RAM, the 32-bit pae kernel will recognize up to 6 GBs.  Most Linux users will never need 8 GBs of RAM, ever.  I had a 64 bit laptop not too long ago, always installed 32-bit distro's and never had an issue.  I even had problems with 64-bit editions that weren't present in 32-bit.
