Yes it would be possible, but it would be a waste of ressources. Better install 32bit as the memory footprint is slightly smaller.

If the laptop has 3GB of RAM, it is entirely possible this is a 32 bit device. In that event, the 64 bit OS won't work at all.

Either way you look at it, 32 bit is the way to go.
