Posts claim that there is no difference, I am running 64 on my Toshiba Satellite and have not had any problems. There is more RAM on mine though.

Your Core 2 Duo is 64-bit capable, so I would recommend 64-bit Ubuntu. If you do any CPU-intensive tasks like video encoding, you should notice a speed increase over 32-bit; otherwise performance is roughly the same.

For example would it boost up my gaming issue, modeling? more fps or smth?

Nope, it wont give you more FPS.

Well, yet anyway, as physics becomes more common in games you might get a boost from 64 bit.
