32-bit vs. 64-bit systems
If so why?
Everything seems to work alright, but I wonder if it could cause problems down the road or I will not be getting the most out of my spec.
I don't really know a great deal about the differences between 64bit and 32 bit architectures.

sorry about that! I meant to paste it in. – Magpie – 2012-07-27T21:50:18.883
with that specs you should definitely switch to 64 bits. Are you joking? You got 8 GB RAM when 32 bit system can use up to 4 GB... – mnmnc – 2012-07-27T21:52:38.430
Haha yeah I just read the thread. I didn't go for it at first because the lubuntu install said amd on it but I see my foolishness now... – Magpie – 2012-07-27T21:54:45.713
If you were adamant on using 32bit for some reason you could use a PAE kernel that would make use of your full 8 GB of memory – Bruno9779 – 2012-07-28T00:22:52.750
