By the way, I found that the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7500 is a 64 bits one.
I have installed Ubuntu 32 bits because there was no added value for me to install a 64 bits one.
for some compatibility reasons I kept also a 32 bits one when I started to use Ubuntu 4 years ago
Do you think that it could potential be the source of the problem or it doesn't matter?
