I just built my first computer today, and I've been planning on using Ubuntu for a long time.
I don't know if it matters, but just in case it does, I'll post the specs...
AMD Phenom II 3.0GHz Quad-core Processor
4GB G-Skill Dual Channel 1333 DDR3 RAM
ECS A790GXM-AD3 Motherboard
-Onboard ATI Radeon HD3300
500GB WD Caviar Green HDD
DIABLOTEK 650W PSU
I'm lacking much more on the knowledge in the software side of things. My main question is, should I install 32-bit, or 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10? I've been trying to read around, and it seems that fewer people use the 64bit Ubuntu.
Will I be able to download the same drivers, and get the same functionality with 64 bit? Thanks in advance for helping a noob!
