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...
