So, the HDD in my grandmother's PC is dying and I managed to get hold of a 64GB Crucial m4 SSD for a good price [not much different to a small HDD].
Based on the specs. of the system - and as I will need to reinstall Windows - would you install a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the OS?
I was personally thinking that 4GB of RAM should be a good minimum for 64-bit, but I want to know other people's personal opinions.
The system specification:
Athlon 64 X2 6000+ [stock 3GHz] @ 3.15GHz [Windsor 90nm]
ASUS M3A76-CM
3X1GB [3GB] DDR2 800MHz @ 5-5-5-15
HD 5670 512MB GDDR5
P.S. If this thread needs moving, please do so and remove this line.
Thanks.
