In 64 bit Ubuntu, there will be a problem when you have 512 MB or less RAM. Because In Idle Condition it will consume ~400MB. 2 years Ago I was having 64bit AMD processor and 512 RAM, I had to switch to 32 bit that time. But now I have 2 GB RAM, and INTEL 64 Bit Processor, so now I am using 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10. You can switch to 64 bit if RAM is 1 GB or more. 64 bit can address terabytes of RAM, so there will be no 4GB limit with 64 bit processor.
>> how 32bit consumes more RAM? I think you wanna ask about 64 bit RAM consumption. that is I guess due to large size of variables, pointers and other such reasons, Not sure.
