The only trouble I've had is:
"Can I borrow your Ubuntu?"
"Sure"
"It won't work."
"Oh yeah, you have a P4! You need another version!"

Of course you can run 32-Bit Flash on 32-Bit Firefox but I found it needed some tweaking which was more hassle than it was worth. ÂEven with 4GB Ram you can still use all the memory available if you install a PAE kernel (Ubuntu 32-Bit auto-detects how much memory you have and installs the correct kernel, not sure about other distros but I dare say PAE enabled kernels are available).
In the future I'm sure distros will start to maybe drop 32-Bit versions but personally I don't see it happening for a few years.
