Hey everybody!
I have a system with 4 GB of RAM, 80 GB HDD, ASUS motherboard, etc. I'm wondering whether to put the 32 bit or 64 bit version of Ubuntu on it. I'm thinking that the 64 bit version would be better because it would take advantage of the 4 GB of RAM, yes? I thought that 64 bit was unstable, so I'm a little hesistant to install it. If I install the 32 bit version, it would use PAE (Physical Address Extension), right? I don't know much about how PAE works, but I read an article that said Linux doesn't like using PAE. Is that true? Could someone explain to me how PAE works in my case and what would be the best version, 32 or 64 bit, to install on my system? Thank you.
