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.

To be honest I'm not sure extra RAM will make it much faster, not unless
you're running shed loads at once. I have a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo and
