With only 2G of ram there is no significant advantage to you to be running a 64-bit system. Think about it again when you have 8G of ram. > > Why?

There is no significant benefit for a 64-bit system with 2G of ram. There may even be disadvantages due to the increased memory use of 64-bit programs. (Pointers to data are all twice as large. Many 64-bit programs use more memory than their 32-bit programs.) With only 2G of memory I would stick with a 32-bit system. Bob
