32-bit vs 64-bit

Vinny,

     I think the 32-bit version might be better. The reason is this: I 
have an Intel Atom Processor running at 1.60GHz in my /old/ Netbook, so 
it's very slow. On top of that, I have 0.99GB of RAM. Obviously, I chose 
the 32-bit version (it had the 32-bit XP before I switched). Your 
processor runs at 1.90GHz, only 0.3 GHz faster than mine. Your RAM is 
only 1.1GBs more than my RAM. My computer is very slow to run things, 
even with the 32-bit OS.

     Now, I think if you pick the 32-bit version, you have a VERY smooth 
experience. But if you choose the 64-bit version, it won't be very 
smooth. (64-bit computers nowadays, have at /least /4 GB, 6GB are 
becoming more common).

Regards,

Tony Psmythe
