Agreed. 6G and a pristine new system install then I would install an amd64 64-bit system. Actually even with 4G I usually install 64-bit anyway just for consistency with the new direction everything is moving. But as you can see I do still have 32-bit systems and I am not converting them to 64-bit as a conversion. Bob
