Your CPU can just handle 32-Bit but you are trying to install the 64-Bit version of Ubuntu. You should download the 32Bit version or buy a new CPU. If you are having a 64Bit CPU but running it inside a virtual machine make sure you have victimisation enabled in the BIOS
If you are using virtualization software, like VirtualBox or VMware Player, you'll need to change the OS version for the VM to its 64-bit equivalent. VMware Player is especially bad at this, because the 32-bit version just has the name of the OS, like "Ubuntu" and the 64-bit version actually says "Ubuntu 64-bit".
You should probably run the 64-bit version of the OS on a 64-bit CPU, even if you are running less than 4 GB of memory. There are significant performance advantages to running a 64-bit OS on supported 64-bit processors.
