BTW, I am running 32-bit lubuntu on a 64-bit system (Toshiba NB250-107

I'm confused here because a 64 bit kernel should be able to handle a
small amount of RAM as much as a 32 bit. A 64 bit kernel will also not
use more RAM than a 32 bit. What's the logic here?

Computer programs compiled and linked for 64-bit machines are larger than those for 32-bit machines, because every address reference is 64-bits, rather than 32-bits.
