What is the minimum amount of memory needed to run 64bit stuff?<br>

64bit systems have virtually identical memory requirements to 32bit systems.<br>

64-bit executables are slightly larger and have a bigger memory footprint than 32-bit executables. The differences will be tough to notice unless you've got less than 512M of RAM. I had no problems running 64-bit distros years ago on a machine with 1G of RAM, but that was before KDE 4 and insane firefox bloat. 64-bit and 4G RAM works just fine. You'll probably be OK with 2G and maybe even 1G.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
