    Hey everyone, I have this situation and I hope you can help me decide..

    So I intend to make multiple Windows Virtual Machines on my laptop, I have enough RAM so that each VM gets 2-3 GB but I'm not sure If I should use with 32bit images of windows or 64bit, I'd like to go with the ones that are "lighter" on CPU. Is there a difference in that aspect between 32bit & 64bit of Windows?

    Could be a stupid question but I truly have no idea.

    This fits 32bit, but it's the software that you want to test on them, 64bit software won't run on 32bit OS, but 32bit software will run on 64bit OS.
