Why does Ubuntu Download recommend 32-bit install?

I'm using an Asus K43E laptop with: - Intel Core i3 Sandy Bridge 2.1GHz - 2GB DDR3 - Onboard graphics

On the Ubuntu download page, the 32bit version is marked as "recommended", but the community documentation page suggests otherwise:

Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit to utilise the full capacity of your hardware.

I use my laptop mostly for Eclipse, apart from regular office applications, then does it make any difference when choosing between 32bit and 64bit?

Yes, its better. I am using 64 bit as well. Not much visual difference but yeah since your hardware supports try 64 bit - No harm for sure :)
