I suggest you use a 64 bit version of windows 7. There is no need for a 32-bit version of windows. Your mac supports 64 bits and you have at least 8 gb of ram which nullifies the reasons for 32-bit versions. Installing a 32-bit version of windows will only allow the use of 2gb of ram and leave the rest of your ram unavailable. It is possible to install a 32-bit version of windows as I have accidentally done myself on the same macbook that you have. however I could only use 2gb of ram and many other functions (like the correct screen resolution) were unavailable.
If you still insist on installing a 32-bit version of windows please reply here.
