A 32-bit processor can only handle a limited amount of RAM (up to 4GB of RAM or less on Windows) while 64-bit processor can handle lot more.

Maybe I did not ask well...
What are the benefits of running 32-bit OS and 64-bit OS on a laptop?
If a laptop can run 64-bit, what is the need for installing another 32-bit OS on it?
Most applications now have been adapted to run on 32-bit OS as well as 64-bit OS.

OP answered your question

To enable a higher RAM

There are video games and some software that make use of more than 4GB ram, what will you do about it?

Mind you, graphic cards rarely work on a 32bit system

That's where a 64bit architecture is useful
