In addition to what Christopher said, another aspect to consider is that 64 bit is the present and near future.
32 bit is old.
Also consider that most applications these days only come as 64 bit and all security and performance upgrades only go to 64 bit.
Well, a 64-bit operating system will perform better on a 64-bit platform, but whether you'd notice that improved performance would depend on what you're doing on your 64-bit system. A 64-bit OS will also let you address more memory, and file space so for example, you could use more than 4G of memory. Again, whether you would notice this or not would depend on how memory hungry the applications are you want to run.

Hi,I have a couple computers that I will boot up a live version of Ubuntu onto and a couple are 32 bit, and my main computers are 64 bit.I have booted up the 32 bit Ubuntu live versions on my 64 bit computers, but other than knowing it is the i386 version, I really can't tell the difference.Does anyone know a benefit of using the 64 bit version on my 64 bit computers?I know of course that it won't boot on the 32 bit computers.Would Orca perform the same?And is 19 the best for accessibility, or should I stick with 18.43?Thanks.Glenn
