32 bit vs 64 bit

[John Mcgregor]

Hi Folk,
        Earlier this week there was a discussion about using the 32 bit
version of Linux on 64 bit machines. I have an Acer laptop with a Turion
processor on which I would like to do just that. Is it just as simple as
downloading and burning a 32 bit distro, or is there some sort of
parameter that I have to pass  at the initial boot as well?

TIA

John
