I just purchased a Windows 7 32 bit DVD and it's shipped, on way right now. But my friend told it's not receive enough 4GB RAM I have on my laptop. And only Windows 7 64 bit can. Is it true ?

You may want to check if you can actually increase the RAM for your laptop; if you can't its not much loss, a 64-bit version would be better if you can you may want to try and exchange it but I wouldn't pay much; perhaps pay shipping back and forth and get them to knock off what you paid for it off a 64-bit version.
If you you don't use your laptop intensively then there may not be need for the extra RAM. It's your decision.
