Linux Lite 3 32-bit or 64-bit

[torreydale]

If your ASUS EEE is dual core and 1.8 GHz, you can go either way.  You can run 32-bit at 4GB of RAM, and it may perform a bit better.  I installed 32-bit for two aunts who were running sub 2 GHz dual core processors, and I upgraded them both to 4GB.  Their machines run like new.  They can't run Google Chrome, though.  Google no longer supports the 32-bit browser for Linux. 

Try the Live Media for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
