For systems with under 2GB RAM, choose the 32-bit edition. I've observed that low-RAM setups usually face challenges with 64-bit operating systems.
Ask better questions about why systems use so much memory. In a 32-bit setup, 8 gigabytes is the maximum, and XP had a cap of around 4 gigabytes. Linux on x86 employs clever methods to handle more than that, but did Windows 7 actually adopt those techniques? Or are you limited to only half your available RAM?
If you have access to a system with 64 bits, you should be able to run the software there without issues.
