I bought a laptop a while ago and I'm sort of through with Windows. I wanted to try Ubuntu but I don't know which version I should take.

I got a Samsung NP300E5A-S02NL

It has a

  1. Intel I3 2330M @2.2GHz Processor
  2. 8GB of ram
  3. Nvidia GeForce 520MX
  4. a chipset Intel HD Graphics videocard

I know for windows there is a need of x64 to get full use out of your 8GB of ram, is this the same for Ubuntu?

You can check this useful link to know more about the differences between 32bit, 32bit pae and 64bit: How to decide if you should use 32bit or 64bit.

Anyway, for systems with at least 4GB of RAM I suggest to install the 64bit version, because (as on windows) 32bit systems does not utilise more than 3GB of RAM.
