I have an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ × 2, with an Nvidia GT 220 and 2 GB of ram. I am currently running 13.10.

Do you think it would be better to upgrade to 14.04 in 64 or 32 bits?

Thanks.

  • use 64 bit as your cpu is 64 bit – Panther Apr 21 '14 at 02:18
  • What the duplicate answer seems to hide in plain sight regarding memory consumption: There is the x32 ABI that combines the speed improvements of x86-64 with the lower memory consumption of x86. So you should at least try 64 bits. – LiveWireBT Apr 21 '14 at 10:18

I'd recommend 32 bit. Ubuntu suggests that you use 32 bit if you have 2GB ram or less even with a 64 bit processor, so I'd choose 32 bit just to stay safe.
