so I am kind of new to the UBuntu thing and I installed 32 bit instead of 64 bit ( my pc has 8gb of ram , but did not realize that at the time) . My question is should I re-install the 64-bit or live it like this?

Unless you have done a bunch of work to it already; I would suggest a clean install.
Is it possible to "upgrade" from a 32bit to a 64bit installation?
EDIT: If your hardware is new, go for 64bit. Otherwise use 32bit PAE.
