I don't know the inner workings of the applications or how they manage memory but logically in my mind I would think that a 64-bit version of an application will require more ram in some shape or form if for nothing else than memory addressing now taking twice as much space, so if data/memory is managed in some variation of a linked list implementation then the pointers to the next object will take twice as much space in memory to keep track of per struct/record/data segment.
<br><br>Just a thought .... I could be wrong, so don't take what I have said to be fact but that is just the explanation that makes sense to me that automatically came to mind when I read the question.<br><br>-Adam<br>

Hi everybody I have Xubuntu 7.04 32 bits and 64 bits<br><br>by default my 32 bist version only used 64 MB Ram and the 64 bits use 142 MB Ram.<br><br><br>Here is my question this mean 64 bits is going to used more RAM that 32 bits for the same aplications ?
<br><br>Thank you for any help or reference<br>
