The 64 bit provides very little extra - just stick with the 32 bit version

but can i enable 64bit?
because i dont want to waste the extra ram and processing power
you aren't wasting it. You still get all your memory, you just can't allocate more than 4g to any one process.

so it isnt possible?
your printer.cfg file does not rely on 32 bit or 64 bit. If you are talking about something else, you will have to be more specific than "and stuff".

i really just wanna know if the ratos software its self has a 32bit and 64bit version or if its just the "pi (config.txt)"
ratos is just prepacked klipper, mainsail, etc (https://os.ratrig.com/docs/introduction). There is a 64 bit version you can download, but it really doesn't offer much difference as I think it is just the base OS that is 64 bit.

yeah but you can enable 64bit in the PI's own config file.
thats why i asked if there was two version of the (klipper,mainsail,etc bundle)
https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS/blob/v2.x/config/raspberry/rpi64 is the difference
from the 32 bit version https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS/blob/v2.x/config/raspberry/rpi32

looks like there all in the 32bit one soo maybe if i enable 64bit manually
python runs the whole show. the 64 bit is faster, IF you have more than 4G of ram in yor RPi
then the 64 bit op sys has an advantage, albeit not really that much, for what Klipper is doing
Only was to get all the right libraries and etc all loaded and have klipper call everything correctly with minimal fixes on your part, is a fresh install of the operating system then reinstall RatOS

can i just do a fresh install and then copy my printer.cfg to the new one?
printer.cfg stuff does not change. Only when changing versions of RatOS
>90% (+?) of all the files for RatOS, as well as their config should not be affected by going to 64 bit version of the RPi operating system.
