Yes, you sure can. You can also purchase another 4 gb's. of ram, if you want and get even better performance. Or you could replace your current ram with a 8 GB. kit which is 2 4GB. ram sticks. Most modern motherboard can use 16GBs., or 32GBs. of ram. Either way a decent ram kit only costs around $60.00 now. Definitely the cheapest upgrade you can make.

brkkab, prices in India and the cost of living there may not make even 4GB not worth it. And for users who don't play top-of-the-line games or run cad-cam applications, 4GB is quite enough for their web browsing, office applications, and playing movies/mp3s, etc.
unnids, the fact that you have 4GB means 64-bit is ideal for you. 32-bit can only see about 3.25GB so .75GB wouldn't even be used in a 32-bit OS. The only reason you might change it is if you have some hardware that you must use and that does not have 64-bit drivers so unless you have a very good reason to NEED 32-bit the answer is NO, do not change to 32-bit.
