Nope, no problems.
A 32-bit processor can only address about 3.5GB of ram natively,
64-bit processors can address some incomprehensibly large amount of
memory.
There's a technique which effectively extends 32 bit processors such
that they can address 64GB of memory. This requires support in both
the CPU and the operating system - linux kernels that use it are
sometimes often 'bigmem'. All processors have shipped with PAE support
for quite some time, and Ubuntu comes with it.
One question though, I am having to create an ubuntu disc from a Windows
computer, and not done that before. What is the best software to make an
Ubuntu disc?
