I only have 4GB ram.
Is it even worth bothering with the current 64 bit?

though you only have 4gb of ram, then the 64bit version will make your game run faster than 32bit.... So no reason to not use the 64bit version.

But your limit of 4gb ram will prevent you from installing allot of mods, so you can use same amount of mods in the 32bit version, than if you use the 64bit version.

However why dont you read on the internet about "ramdisks"... that is a virtual "fake" ram that run on your harddrive or usb drive. So if you have 4 gb real ram, then you can make example 12gb of ram that run on your harddisk so you get 16 ram in total. With other words you can give your computer more RAM without buying more ram in a shop.
ramdisk is however more slow than real ram, but i do not think you will feel much of a difference in ksp.

this is how you do it..: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG9LiKrHwkk

Anyway get 8GB. 4GB is past for most games.

Well...... at least with 64bit and 4 gb of ram it actually will use all of it and not like 3.5gb. Although its been so long since I used a 32bit OS I have no idea if that is still the case. But like 10 years ago 32bit windows never used the entire 4gb of ram.

It sure aint going to hurt anything.

I use a 2013 Macbook Pro laptop with 4 GB. Runs like a dream and I use over 20 mods.

I wouldn't recomend craming the skies with tons of stations and satalites though.

My macbook
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

why the hell did you say your memory cost 120$ - are those some 3rd world dollars?

In case you have one free slot left which is likely (your laptop has 2 total), 20$ for additional 4GB module shouldn't be too expensive even for a young adult.
Link pls I need to see that good ♥♥♥♥. I'm Australian btw.
