Clean Install and RAM?

Question

Hello Folks I'm new to Linux and was wondering about the RAM and which version to install 32 or 64 bit? The following is the RAM on my system - 2,048 (1,024 + 1,024) MB, DDR2 RAM (800 MHz).

Cheers and thanks for any reply it's appreciated.

I would recommend the 32 bit version, since you have only 2 Gb of RAM.
32 bit systems can use all of the RAM until 4 Gb, so unless you are planning on upgrading you RAM in the future, i would suggest you get the 32 bit version since it's usually more stable.
