What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit and which should I choose?

Few days earlier I had completely shifted to Ubuntu ( frm windows). I had downloaded a 64-bit version, But I think mine pc will not support it.. It is installed and working properly.

Mine specs is as follows:

AMD sempron 140 1 Gb ram (here is da problem :( ) 320GB sata

So should I install a 32-bit version or I should carry on with current one?

You should reinstall with the 32-bit one.

32-bit Ubuntu: Works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Systems. Some features (like more RAM) on a 64-bit system will be restricted if you use 32-bit Ubuntu.

64-bit Ubuntu: Only works on 64-bit Systems and will not work with 32-bit Systems. Use this only if you are sure that you are using a 64-bit system.

Do you now what OS type (32 or 64 bit) you are using? If you are using a more modern computer (Windows 7 is a good example) you are most likely using 64 bit Windows. If you are in doubt, and have only 4 GB ram MAX, then get the 32 bit version.
