That's become problematic for 32-bit CPUs these days. There are still 32-bit versions of Linux (Debian is probably best) that work ok but modern web browsing really needs 4 GB of RAM. Most 32-bit laptops don't support a full 4 GB (many max out at 2 GB).
I still remember the days when the original Pentiums were king and people kept old 486s around for web browsing and e-mail with only 8 or 16 MEGAbytes. Web browsers have become real resource hogs.
