Shouldn't matter. 386 has marginally more hardware
support, but if your hardware is supported, both
should work (and if it's not supported on amd64,
please complain!)
amd64 or i386 usage with respect to bit size ( 64 bits versus 32 bits )
depends not on memory size but CPU kind / model .
Please , first check your CPU for supported bit size .
Memory for i386 is important when size of memory is greater than 4 Gigabytes
( as maximum supported memory size )
(
Consider
Physical Address Extension
) .
For amd64 , memory size is not important , BUT placement of memory chips
on your main board is VERY important ( even for i386 ) .
Please also check memory placement rules of your main board
with respect to your memory chips .
With my best wishes for all ,
