If you're motherboard supports 64-bit as is without flashing bios or other steps - It may be feasible.
* With 2gb Ram, 32bit may perform slightly better - 32bit can support up to 4gb ram anything over 4gb will not be available to 32bit. Therefore 64bit is necessary.
I would see how much Ram your board can handle (max) if no more than 4gb stay 32bit... If 4gb + and you want to increase and of course $$$ makes sense to then 64bit maybe a viable option.
And with that a wipe out and replace of the OS.
- Keep in mind when LL4.0 comes out the new series requires a fresh install.
- At some point 32bit will no longer be supported but still have options for a few more years...
