Should I install 12.04 or 12.10?

I've been using 12.04 for a few months now, but today I began thinking about re-installing Ubuntu, and now I'm a bit confused.

What should I Choose?

Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10

32 bit or 64 bit

I want to get maximum output from the resources available on my laptop:

core i3

4Gb RAM

640GB HDD

My main priority is speed! Using an LTS isn't too important, as I usually change my OS every few months.

Since you have an Intel i3 CPU and 4GB RAM I recommend going with a 64bit version of Ubuntu in order to use that RAM well(I haven't been impressed by 32bit PAE on my system running 4gb of RAM).

As for the version of Ubuntu you should use, I recommend 12.04. It has a longer support window and is far more stable. Only get 12.10 if you really want the latest features and don't care about a far shorter support window. Also 13.04 will be out next month so you might as well wait if you want the latest version of Ubuntu.
