I always heard that if you have less than 4Megs Ram, then running 64bit
doesn't take advantage or won't see the Ram anyway, or something to that
affect? I have dual core athlon with 64bit but only 2megs ram, which
under either/or, they only see 1.8 or 1.9Megs anyway. So I just stayed
with the 32bit.
I /really/ hope you mean 4GB of RAM and not 4MB. With 32-bit and 4GB
RAM you generally won't see all 4B (usually 3.5 to 3.75) with the PAE
enabled kernel.
I am personally fond of going 64-bit whether I have 4GB RAM or not, just
to keep packages consistent. I can always upgrade my RAM, it's a pain
going from 32-bit to 64-bit on the OS side.
