Title: 32 bits v/s 64 bits installation
Post by: ludvicfer on July 08, 2014, 04:59:04 PM

Hello Team,

I have a quick question, based on my hardware specs. What do you guys recommend for an Acer Atom 1.6 GHz (64 bits), 1 GB of RAM netbook, 32 bits or 64 bits installation?.  I have been reading about it, and found a few recommendations that I should use 32 bits instead of the 64 bits, but would like your opinion on this.

Best regards

LuD

32bit, since you only have 1gb of ram, you're going to need as much access to that as possible. 64bit uses more ram than 32bit.
