64bit systems have virtually identical memory requirements to 32bit systems.

systems.


64-bit executables are slightly larger and have a bigger memory 
footprint than 32-bit executables.  The differences will be tough to 
notice unless you've got less than 512M of RAM.  I had no problems 
running 64-bit distros years ago on a machine with 1G of RAM, but that 
was before KDE 4 and insane firefox bloat.  64-bit and 4G RAM works just 
fine.  You'll probably be OK with 2G and maybe even 1G.

My dad got an NUC for XBMC. Will there be any noticeable difference between
running the 32 or 64 bit versions?

If he has 4GB or more of ram, yes quite a difference.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

[Dazed_75]

No.  As described in the article, this negotiation is being conducted
behind closed doors.  We only know about it through leaked documents.''

Perhaps you can track them down, I do not choose to try.
