No, it's not necessary. 64-bit Intel and AMD cpus will run 32-bit |
| 8 |
mode without problems. It's your decision which one to use. General |
| 9 |
rule of thumb... |

- If you have 4 gigs or more of RAM, the 64-bit OS will take better |
| 12 |
advantage of it than a 32-bit OS. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- If you have 3 gigs or less of RAM, stick with 32-bit. |

I'm running 32-bit mode on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 and it |
| 17 |
works fine. |
