I bought one of these laptops today with Vista preinstalled. I loaded the hardy live CD but the wireless doesn't work. Nice laptop - paid £450 for it. I'm sure with a bit of research I'll get the wireless to work with Hardy - what's funny is that the Ubuntu Live CD is much faster than Vista on the hard disk.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Nope, 32 bit apps can't address
4GB RAM - It's nothing to do with Ubuntu</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">The 32-bit version only seems
to support about 3.5GB out of the box (I'm sure it's tweak<br>
able to run with more).<br>
<br>
I'd say if you have less than 4GB memory, stick with 32-bit, especially<br>
if you want to use things like the Adobe Flash Plugin.</p>
