My 32 bit netbook with 1GB Ram runs LL2.8 sweetly. Typically less than 200MB ram is in use unless I'm editing video files. Why is 64bit becoming a necessity if there is a performance hit? I noticed that my friends 64bit/4GB quad core PC with Windows 10 seems very slow. I'm confused as to whether upgrading to a 64bit system is wise. I know that 32bit systems are getting scarce, but are we 'being taken for a ride' by manufacturers?
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
