You should have no problem running Kubuntu on that. Intel does contribute to the kernel and I have never had a problem with any cpu running any distro.
As for the 64 bit question: That should depend on how much memory you have. A 32 bit system can only address about 3.[something] gigs of memory. The usable memory is less subtract your graphics card memory and various other things. If you're running an i7 950 I really hope you have more than 4 gigs. If you have 8 gigs then you want the 64 bit version. There used to be a lot of problems with a 64 bit architecture but that is in the past. The flash problem is fixed when you install the package from the repositories.
