ut most of these are addressed in the Ubuntu forums. I researched a little bit what advantages 64-bit will have. Apparently on some applications like video rendering it leads to a dramatic (30%?) speed increase. I'm not sure if the same is true with audio compression. I'm also not sure if I can take advantages of 64-bit with my memory constraints - 512 MB for the moment, a maximum of 2 GB on the motherboard I'm looking at.
Do not bother with 64-bit with your configuration unless you have oodles of time and patience. It will not be worth the hassle because you won't see a performance difference. Based on your recent post history with Ubuntu I don't think you have the latter, but maybe you do have the former... Ben
