If that is a 64-bit capable machine, you should run 64-bit on it, you can run
32-bit userspace stuff, but if you run a 32-bit os with that kind of ram you run
into all sorts of issues with the machine running out of the 800-900MB of lowmem
and this causes fatal issues even those massive amounts of highmem are
available. You will have enough issues with 32-bit and lots of ram to make it
worth considering the 64-bit stuff.
