You can have problems if your RAM isn't bigger enough (1 GB or less),
because the applications in a 64-bit OS occupes more RAM.

I'm expecting a new computer to be delivered today and am trying to

What difficulties? I run both 32- and 64-bit Linuxes, and have no
difficulties with either one.
I can't imagine why anyone would run a 32-bit Linux on a modern processor.
Virtually every processor made today is 64-bit. Even the little old
dual-core ARM processor in my wife's netbook is 64-bit!
64-bit gives programs access to more on-chip registers, and removes the
need for the silly physical address extension (PAE) stuff
