I am upgrading my old computer with some better parts and need your recommendation on what ubuntu release and 32 bit or 64 bit. The new to me motherboard has a 3.2ghz processor and 2 gig ram.

If the CPU is 64-bit then install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu.

What make/model is your processor?

If your processor supports 64bit definitely go 64bit it's quite a bit faster according to phoronix http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_3264&num=1

and my experience with the 64bit installation of Kubuntu has been noticeably faster then the 32bit version.
