There is memory range below 4G which is reserved for PCI address mapping. Size can be quite significant - if you are using 32 bit system you can lose as much as (or even over) 1G of your memory.
My experience is that reserved space is much closer to negligible: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/ram-consumed-server01.png
So I'd say - as long as you have over 2G of physical RAM having 64 but kernel makes all sort of sense.
As does 32 up through 4GB, again, depending on primary usage. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
