Sorry, but no one in the infamous 32 V 64 bit thread said you *have* to 
have 4GB to run the 64 bit version. *You* incorrectly made that 
assumption (or mis-read) someone. Your mistake, no one else's ...

The statement has always been *if* you want to use 4GB or mode, you need 
64 bit, but 64bit linux will run just fine with less. No one has ever 
said otherwise...
