So running a 32-bit OS, you won't be able to use all those 4GB, but a
bit less (say 3,5GB).
But again, keep in mind applications running in 64-bit mode uses more
memory, so you won't gain a lot here.

If you want to, install a 64-bit system, if you want to be absolutly
on the safe side go for a 32-bit OS.
Most likely you won't regret any of those choices.

Please stop with this FUD.

If you have a 64bit machine with more than 3+ GB of ram install and use
the 64bit OS. Don't listen to any of this fear, uncertainty and
disinformation in this thread. One would think this issue has been long
dead and solved, but here we are again.
Excuse me but could you point out what about the quoted message is FUD?


The part about being "safe" by avoiding 64bit. Sounds like evoking fear.
You sound certain, but uninformed, as nothing is unsafe about running
64bit. So,that covers the fear,uncertainty, and disinformation.

Basically, you have no idea what you are talking about.


Why is this question ever asked? There are people who use 64
bit and are fat,dumb, and happy. There are people who use 32
bit and are fat,dumb, and happy.

Just leave this question alone.
