Ones you want to install OpenCV you make it on your system and you can use it properly on every system. But about the difference of 32-bit and 64-bit systems:

1. More bits means that data can be processed in larger chunks which also means more accurately.
2. More bits means our system can point to or address a larger number of locations in physical memory.
   In computer vision, computation task are Memory and processing intensive. So 64-bit memory may allow us to use larger RAM memory in our computer system.
   If your hardware supports 64-bit OS it is good decision to try Ubuntu 64-bit.
