It does use slightly more memory but it still rarely goes above 50% of my 1.5 GB RAM! Kaweh, basically when working with more processor intensive tasks, such as video editing or AutoCAD the computer is quicker and more responsive. For normal everyday tasks it doesn't make a huge amount of difference. In the future 64bit programs will be the norm as there is a bug in the way Unix/Linux machines handle dates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem So it is best to get used to 64 bit sooner rather than later. Also most web servers are running on 64 bit I believe. Yes Yun, you are correct. It does use slightly more memory but it still rarely goes above 50% of my 1.5 GB RAM!

What's new with the new ubuntu? Hmmm Not sure about 64bits but as fas as i know uses more memory or that’s what i believe. What’s new with the new ubuntu?
