Hi,
I would like to know which are the differences between the 32-bit version and the 64-bit of ZorinOS.

32-bit is less exigent in terms of resources, but takes full advantage of the potential of a recent PC (duo core, 64-bit, 4 GB of RAM) ?

Another question, please: I would like to know if my PC has problems using the ram (ZorinOS 12 Live): by the attached picture, how much memory is actually usable? Thanks in advance !

Hi, due to the nature of 32-bit Operating Systems they can't utilise more than 3gig, and that includes that Other OS.
