You can use the 64-bit version for that processor.

I’d recommend going for 32-bit for machines with under 4 GB of memory. From experience, I’ve used 64-bit on two machines that had processors capable of it, but had a bit of memory overhead. 32-bit runs smoother on machines with 1-2 GB of RAM, but it’ll mean you won’t be able to run 64-bit programs.

Thank you Iah7.
I’m going to do this, download the Intel x 86 image.
I always use a 32-bit image, but as the Ubuntu Mate is a distro lighter than others, I was wanting to download Ubuntu 64-bit kills.
But due to this amount of memory is recommended to use a 32-bit version.
Thank you all.

You’re welcome. :smile: I forgot to mention, but Ubuntu themselves also recommend 32-bit for machines less than 2 GB of RAM: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop :thumbsup:
