Re: Debian 32-bit or 64-bit

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm planning to use the system for programming purposes. Like C++, java,
python, Qt, eclipse, Android studio, ssh, ftp etc. I will be using icedove,
iceweasel all the time.

Will 64-bit programs slows down the system, as it doubles the memory
allocation than 32-bit programs ?
