2008 R2 is not available in a 32 bit version only 64bit, also to run Hyper-V you require a CPU with virtualization extensions which are only available with a 64bit chip. You can get evaluation versions here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/try-it.aspx or download the base hyper-V product for free from here Microsoft Hyper-V Server: Home Page

 

Server 2008 was the last Windows Server product to ship with a 32bit version and even this was intended as a legacy compatibility feature. To get a copy of that you would probably need a technet account (about 300 pounds) as it is no longer a current product.
