Yes, it should be amd64 (thanks for reminder). And No, 4 GByte is really
enough. Mine has 4 GByte, runs KDE4 as desktop, with libroffice, FF
64.0, chromium, ... all fast and fine.

$ dmesg | grep -i memory
real memory  = 4301258752 (4102 MB)
avail memory = 1917239296 (1828 MB)
[drm] Got stolen memory base 0x7ca00000, size 0x2000000

Have you a real proposal to say?
