Did you try > such combination, Volkmar? Well, RAM isn't expensive, so I guess I'd install the 64-bit version anyway. Indeed I did that on a set-top-box (with a Windows 7 64-bit), while it had 2 GB RAM. I upgraded to 4GB later (more the board can't handle). Just make sure your swap-area is big enough from the start. Changing that later is...well...kind of a pain. It's not really slowing down anything, it's just that all pointers etc. are 64-bit, not 32. Might seem like a captain obvious statement, but the consequence is a higher RAM-consumption, something most people are really aware of.
