Intel Atom N455: 64bit or not?

[mc837]

Hi everyone, here's my situation.

I have this win7 tablet that I just upgraded to win8. It has the Atom N455 that supports 64bit, 2gb memory and, for Xmas, upgraded it to a 120gb ssd.

However, now I have Windows 8 in 32bit. Should I reinstall to get it to 64bit? Is it worth doing with only 2gb ram and a mobile processor? I might consider getting a 4gb ram.

I just want some opinions on whether 64bit is worth the trouble on a tablet used mainly for office/videos/multitasking/web. And btw, is downloading win8 from the download assistant on a 64bit machine the only way to get a 64bit install?

Thanks in advance!
Season's greetings to all.

There's no big difference between 32-bit and 64-bit. 64-bit is rarely used with only 4GB of ram because it's useless. It's not worth the reinstalling.

Hi, thanks. Wouldn't 64bit be faster though? Or barely noticeable?

You couldn't even notice the difference, experience talks here.
