What's the advantage of having 64-bit OS on 4gb RAM?
The fact is cheap configurations became available for a wider
userbase with smaller income, who wouldn't think to buy a
notebook not so long ago. And you sure can't persuade them to
spend more money, 32-bit OS works and once installed it will run
long (you don't upgrade notebooks), as long as it works, there's
no reason to fix it.
