changing from 64bit to 32bit
Asked by
NikTheGeek
I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 (later upgraded to 7.10) on my Athlon 64 3.8GHz with 3GB ram, however it runs more slowly than the 32bit version I have on my Vaio laptop (centrino with 1GB ram). A linux geek I know suggested I would see improved performance from using the 32bit version as the 64bit version has some performance hits because most of the apps are still 32bit. So 2 questions:
1. Is it true that the 32bit version *may* be quicker? Or at least no slower?
2. How do I change from 64bit to 32bit?
tnx in advance
Nick
