Take Xubuntu 64 Bit , it will run flawless in your configuration.

As far as I see your machine should do well with Ubuntu Mate also, I'm running it on one of my machines and I love it.

It is a 64 bit CPU so go with a 64 bit OS.

Which is considered to be heavier ubuntu mate or xubuntu?

Thank you in advance

I would have to say Mate, Xubuntu was made lighter for machine with less resources so therefore it's a bit faster.

But if you have a 32 bit system you need the 32 bit version same applies for the 64 bit

Hi,

64 bit computers can run either 32 or 64 bit.

With 4 GB of ram, 64 bit would be my choice.

before a couple of months i tried xubuntu 14.04 lts 64bit on this computer but i was surprised when i have seen that the computer was too slow. especially when i was broswing on internet(this is my main task) when i have a few tabs open everything was going too slow
