What bit depth of Windows 10 is better to install (if there is 4GB of RAM on board)?

Question

Iron

It seems to be like 32 bit does not see all the memory (it was more scary on previous versions of Windows)
But at the same time, 64 bit seems to take more RAM)
What is better if there is 4 GB on board

Answer 1

Only 64 bits.
Simply because all software is sharpened/tested/encoded for 64 bits.

Answer 2

64 bit. Then you can add memory and do not have to reinstall.
32 bit - they are gradually leaving

Answer 3

32 bits can only address ~ 3.2 gigs of RAM, 64bits address all 4 gigs, but by doubling the pointer size, more RAM will be consumed (I remember on fresh Windows I ate 400 meters more).
In general, put 64bit.

Answer 4

32.
There is very little RAM, and 64-bit software requires one and a half times more.

Answer 5

If Win10, then 64.
Depends on the tasks and the rest of the hardware. Maybe in general Win XP 32bit or Lubuntu some ...

Answer 6

If you have 4 gigabytes of ram put 64.

Answer 7

Naturally, you need to set x64. For 4GB, it will work quite tolerably, and you will hardly see the difference between 32 and 64. And if you want to play fresh games, they all require 64-bit Windows almost now.

Answer 8

64.
And now more about the operative and its use.
A 32-bit OS without PAE (Physical address extension) will see a maximum of 3.5 gigabytes, a maximum of 2 GB can be allocated for one application.
A 32-bit OS with PAE will see all the memory, a maximum of 3.5 gigs can be allocated to one application. The same applies to 32 bit applications on a 64 bit OS.
In a 64-bit OS, there is no such restriction for 64-bit programs, memory can be allocated as much as you like, as long as there are free resources

Answer 9

If 4 GB or less without the prospect of an upgrade in the near future, then of course x86 (32 bit) is better. You will have a clean 3.5-4 GB of RAM, without performance loss due to resource-intensive processes.
Who does not believe - run the benchmark on 32 bit, and then on 64 bit
