Hi -- a local shop got sold a Dell with 1gig RAM running a 64 bit version of Windows a couple of weeks ago, and they are saying that it is running really slowly. As it's an independent shop I use lots & want to support (support your local bookshop!), I've offered to set it up as dual-boot with Ubuntu to see if they prefer that, and then to either return it to M$ or convert fully to Ubuntu depending on which they prefer. My question is, should I go with the 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu? The Ubuntu page recommends 32 bit for most users, and it's not a high-powered machine, but it is already running a 64 bit OS (albeit one that could be part of the problem -- I don't know enough about these things). Oh, and I've told them to have a think about everything they use it for, but from an initial conversation everything is easily do-able in Ubuntu, and, more importantly, easy for me to show them. Any & all advice appreciated, Doug.
