Just a little reminder. Any computer made AFTER 2009 will support 64-bit. Does your computer support 64-bit? Here's some information & code to enter into terminal to find out:

If your computer does, but you have less than 4 gb. of memory, consider buying more memory to keep that computer running longer. I have an older HP & found a good deal on 4 x 2gb sticks of RAM. I then moved the memory that was in the HP over to another computer. If you're unsure what kind of memory you use:

Always remember if you're mixing 2gb & 1gb sticks, make sure the 2gb sticks go in slots 1 & 3 (if you have a 4-slot for RAM motherboard). Ubuntu did a survey to find out what % of users use 32-bit. The ratio of 64-bit to 32-bit was 92% to 8%. Amazingly Microsoft has 32-bit for windows 10. Go figure?
