with 6 gig, I'd do the 64bit. Drivers are not an issue when it comes to 32 or 64bit linux.
As for what to do with it? What do you want to do with it? I use mine as a development workstation every day. I program in ruby, bash, python, some perl (If I have to), etc. I use gimp to do my graphics work. I surf, I word process, I email. The only thing I don't do is play games, but then, I was never much of a gamer...except for Telengard! or more recently Diablo I & II. Yeah, I know, those games are ancient history.
