Since you're willing to experiment if you want to try the retail 32bit then it would be interesting to see if it will auto-activate under the Win8 Pro Downgrade program, and if not whether MS Phone Activation would activate it since it is provided in the EULA to downgrade to that exact version.
Sandeep has a good suggestion to try 64 bit to see how it runs with your 2gb RAM. You could even upgrade RAM to 4gb if it seems at all sluggish. So you have options. We'll have your back whichever you decide. Any experimenting you do is going to help us help others.
