Will the 32 bit version of ubuntu work on my 64 bit AMD Prosessor?

Question

I am a new user to Ubuntu and I am having alot of problems trying to install software because of it being 64 bit version. Can I just use the regular 32bit version?

Answer 1

Yes you can. I'd recommend it overall. There's not a lot of software out there that takes advantage of the 64 bit architectures. Unless you want to run more than 4Gb of ram it's just not worth it.

Answer 2

Yes the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 8.04.1 will work just fine on a 64 bit machine http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/

LUg.

Answer 3

It will work.
