      Only problem which I faced was that google earth does not run on

    Probably the issue is of RAM, one should have at least 3-4 GB RAM
    to run 64 bit systems. It is worth a try if you have the hardware.
    I have a Dell Vostro laptop with 3 GB RAM.


I dont know about Google Earth because i do not use it, but you DONT need 3-4GB RAM to run 64bit. I have used 64bit Opensuse and 64bit Ubuntu all along with just 512MB RAM. Its only last year that I switched to 2GB RAM. My logic is simple - If your processor is 64 bit then its best to use 64bit OS. From what i know a 64bit OS will run a 32 bit app. I dont know how that can be done in Ubuntu, but think it can be done.

You have to install 32bit library


If you have 64bit supported hardware then you should ( again ....should ) go with 64bit OSs


I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Fedora 13 dual-boot ( both 64bit ) and runs fine on my Dell Inspiron 1564 core i5 processor, 4Gb DDR RAM , 1GB ATI Graphics cared

Warm regards
