Okay, what I am meaning is that since I know that with Windows if you have a 64 bit system you have to have 4 GB and more, does this apply to Linux Mint?

I think it does, as it happened with me after upgrading the RAM when I was an Ubuntu 11.04 user. It recognised it as 2.9GB instead of 3.8GB. After using a 64-bit Linux it's now recognised as 3.8GB.
I don't know that there is a minimum amount of RAM for a 64 bit system. It would just mean that the less RAM you have the more the system would need to use swap/pagefile, of course. I use Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit on 3GB RAM.
