Uh, what? If I read this right, (and I'm not sure I do), if you have
4GB or more of RAM, then you should go with the 64-bit. With less than
4GB RAM you won't really see a performance benefit going with 64-bit.

However, I go 64-bit regardless, but that's just me.

What compatibility problems do you run into? I want to run things like
Virtualbox, and I know there were hiccups people ran into using 64 bit
with certain applications before...didn't know what problems people are
currently running into using that.

Seems like the only reason I ran into to run 64 bit were having more
than 4 gig of RAM or using programs with very very very large datasets
to manipulate...graphics/video, or databases. *shrug* things change though.

What it is I have installed crossover and I installed it and it not
showing up in the applications like it dose in 32bit and I installed
netbeans 6.1 and I do not think it is working rignt I made a css file in
it I link it but it not working how much ram will I lose if I move to 32
bit ?

About the only problems I have any more are Browser plugin related
(specifically Flash). I use 64-bit primarily because of the fact that I
use large data sets (>5TB) and do a lot of database work and some video
editing.

I kinda look at it this way. The more people use 64-bit OS's, the more
push there will be for vendors to get off their asses and build 64-bit
apps correctly. (Are you listening Adobe?)

Please, use SOME punctuation.

As for your question about how much RAM will a 32 bit OS be able to

Please, don't top post. It makes it hard to keep the thread straight.
I'm not sure I still understand your problem. You installed what?
Crossover Office? And it didn't put anything in the Menu? Have you
tried starting the apps from the command line? I bet it would work that
way just fine. Someone will have to verify that since I"ve never used CO.

And if you went back to 32-bit you won't lose any RAM. It's just that
64-bit applications get a major performance boost if that amount is
available. I'm assuming of course the latest Ubuntu kernels are built
with PAE enabled. They should be.

VirtualBox runs fine for me, including a 64-bit guest since version
2.0.0, with important issues fixed in 2.0.2.

w64codecs contains much less codecs than w32codecs. Other than that, I
haven't encountered compatibility problems with 64 bits; flash,
GoogleEarth, acroread and wine run fine.

*Please do not top-post.
I maybe wrong here but I think your app _may_ not be finding the required libraries.
Try installing the ia32-libs package and see.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

If even that doesn't work try :
$ ldd <your app name here>
This will give you the list of libraries your app references.

See if you have them in the /lib32 or /usr/lib32 directories, else, get them from a 32-bit machines.


I was facing a similar issue but with a different app and doing the above steps solved it.
