Hello Omar, hello Andrea, I made the experience by myself some years ago that 1GB of RAM is not enough and the situation gets worse when you use x86_64. Firefox may have improved it's RAM consumption, but 1GB is really not enough and will cause swapping when you use the system the usual way throughout the day. I doubt that a VM is a valid use case. I would not recommend x86_64 for machines with less than 2GB of RAM. For most of those machines a RAM upgrade is not feasible but desperately needed, wasting RAM with additional 64 bit address space is a bad idea, I definitely agree with you Omar. I'm all for 64 bit and from my point of view that transition happened long ago, but for a user who can not afford a new machine with +4GB, I would not recommend using the 64 bit image.
Regards, Benjamin
