I know this question has been asked a lot but here goes. I have a Dell Inspiron 530s with a Core 2 Duo E6550 processor and 2 GB DDR ram. I am only going to be using this computer as a media server, running iTunes to connect to my AppleTV. What do you advise installing for my use, 32 or 64 bit? Thanks for your help in advance.

Either will work fine unless you plan to install and use more than 4GB of RAM later. 32 bit apps will run on 64 bit systems, but 64 bit applications will NOT run on 32 bit systems, so going with a 64 bit system that allows more RAM and can run all applications seems the safer bet.
