I recommend you to install the 64 bit version so that a single process
is able to address more than two GiB of RAM (can be useful with data
compression like 7z and other software which can make use a lot of RAM).
Agreed. 6G and a pristine new system install then I would install an
amd64 64-bit system.
Actually even with 4G I usually install 64-bit anyway just for
consistency with the new direction everything is moving. But as you
can see I do still have 32-bit systems and I am not converting them to
64-bit as a conversion.
