Forum: GNU Radio Computer specs

hello everyone!

I have a intel Core Duo 2.00GHz × 2 with 4 gib of memory. OS is 32bit 
ubuntu.  someone told me i should be using a 64bit OS.  would gnuradio 
like this?  or is switching a waste of time?

Thanks,
Matt

I personally like running the 64-bit version, but no, you will have no
problems with what you have.

Very Respectfully,

I am using gnuradio on a 1.6 GHz C2D with 8GB of RAM and 32bit Linux, 
and most time the CPIU is bored, only compiling takes very long. Of 
course it depends on what you are doing, but basic stuff is almost 
unnoticed by the CPU :)
