Hi, for now, instead of getting a Slate, I found a computer, that will
be better for what I need at the moment.
The specs are:-
Acer Aspire 5736Z
Pentium Dual Core CPU
T4500 @ 2.30 GHz
RAM 3.00 GB
64 bit
Windows 7 Premium
I want to install Ubuntu, but i'm a bit concerned about the fact its
I doubt it. The specs look fine to me. Only thing is that unless you plan on
adding more than an extra 1gb of RAM, you won't see much benefit running 64bit
instead of 32

Yep, I'd second that view too, I've installed 64bit with no issues
before now on a lower spec machine too.
But don't think there's anything too bad going with 32bit.

64bit, and having read a few peoples problems when trying to install.
Just wondered would there be any problems with the installation with
this computer?
Back in the day, Adobe Flash on amd64 was iffy, but
Thanks everybody. I was thinking of adding some more RAM, to make it
faster.
I will give it a try with the 64 bit.
Thanks again.

Hi Avi and Dave,
now I'm unsure. If I increased the RAM would that be a problem with
installing 32 on here? I'm glad I asked now.
I think if its better to install 32 bit, I would rather that.

It would not be a problem. 32-bit Ubuntu can address lots of memory,
just like 64-bit can.

Nope, no problems.
A 32-bit processor can only address about 3.5GB of ram natively, 64-bit
processors can address some incomprehensibly large amount of memory.
