Re: Install i386 or amd64?

Given the choice, I would always suggest amd64. As Volkmar said, most
software runs a bit faster in 64-bit mode due to the higher number of
CPU registers. The gain is often around 10%. There may be a slight
increase in memory usage but that should not be a problem at 2G of
RAM.
