[title] Download your distrubution
-[* icon_caution] ***If you attempt to boot a 64-bit system on a 32-bit system, the system will halt and you will need the correct media.***
+[* icon_caution] ***IMPORTANT: Most systems in this category will be 32-bit only, outside of lucky owners (Ex: P4 HT 630 2MB). However, machines with a Core 2 Duo or Quad do explicitly support 64-bit. If you attempt to boot a 64-bit system on a 32-bit only system, the system WILL NOT BOOT. If you intend to use 64-bit SW, verify the processor supports it!***
[* icon_reminder] *** There are fewer distros available that work well on "legacy" systems (Ex: Core 2 series and older). You will want to use a lightweight distro such as Lubutu for these systems. Check the minimum requirements for these systems to ensure you will not run into issues.***
-[* black] Go to the [https://lubuntu.net/|Lubuntu website] and find ***Download***. Click on Desktop.
- [* black] For all intents and purposes, most of these systems only support 32-bit distros. For systems with <3GB of RAM, download the 32-bit version. For systems with >3GB or more, download 64-bit (if your processor supports this).
+[* icon_note] ***RAM limitation note: If you have a system that cannot support 4-8GB, a 32-bit distro is (generally) better for performance. However, this will limit application support. Using a 32-bit distro on a 64-bit capable system should only be done in the event of performance issues due to a hard RAM ceiling due to chipset or BIOS RAM limits.***
+[* black] For these systems, your best bet is a distro like [https://lubuntu.net/|Lubuntu|new_window=true] or [https://xubuntu.org/|Xubuntu|new_window=true]. Other lightweight distros are also suitable, but verify they will work with your system.
