OPINIONS SOUGHT - Do I Upgrade to 64 bit?

[rokytnji]

(32-bit only uses 4gb)

I understand completely where you are coming from. While I am a comfy linux user. I am a strange one also. I can't really explain on why I am strange.
Anyways. just posting to let you know my info line in my inxi readout will show you I am using all of my 8 gig of ram in my 32 bit install and my idle ram usage after a login is just 82MB of ram with a conky running even.

I run a another 32 bit install on  a IBM T430 that has 16 gig of ram. My install sees and uses all 16 gigs of ram in that laptop also.

I am not arguing. Just stating info.  I've always been a just " just run what ys bring" type of person. Never judgmental on what a persons druthers is.

Edit; i forgot to mention.  On my older atom netbooks . i could put tons of ram in them. They still won't accept 64 bit install isos though.
That is another reason I keep my hand in the 32 bit world.
