Ubuntu

64 bit problem

Asked by o.k

"That system may be capable of running the 64 bit version but to be honest, I'd suggest sticking with the standard 32 bit. The download site doesn't make it real clear but "standard" is the 32 version that runs on basically everything and the 64 bit option is if you want to run a 64 bit OS and have a compatible 64 bit CPU. 32 bit is less troublesome so stick with that. However, 64 bit is coming along so you may not have too many issues."
Quote from question #21790

I tried the 64 bit but it was slow and had problems like the mouse froze right side of the screen and kept doing that and the screen savers got stuck so what do you mean by the 32 bit it is not there in the sight where i downloaded the 64 bit amd; so can you give me the link to the 32 bit download so my comp could handle it

Go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and select the option that reads "Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)".

Compiz is unrelated to the current question of 64 bit. Please close this ticket (marking the best answer as "this solved my question) if in fact your 64 bit question has been answered. Then open a new question about Compiz. People who are knowledgeable about compiz will not see your question if it's titled as "64 bit".
