Question

I am using Windows 7 (32-bit), is it better for me to start with Ubuntu (32-bit) too?

For Ubuntu, 64-bit is recommended so that you can use the full capacity of your hardware since heavy work load may hit the 4GB memory barrier if you choose 32-bit.

So if you have more than 4GB of memory on your system and want to take advantage of it, choose 64-bit.
