Hi, I have 8 GB RAM Which version will be better for my i381 or amd64

This doesn't depend to the used RAM. If everything of an install
should be  ok, then the whole RAM is available with a PAE kernel on
32-bit and for  64-bit kernels there should be no issues regarding to
the RAM. On 64-bit  it's possible to use 32-bit libraries in addition
to the 64-bit libraries,  to e.g. run proprietary 32-bit software on
64-bit architecture. We are  living in the year 2013, so I prefer
64-bit architecture, even if there  should be what ever, that still
might need 32-bit architecture.

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64

I agree. And RAM is not the only interest for x86_64 archs, softwares can also benefit from more (if not all) instruction sets and internal registers of processors. Some people think that this may improve performances of some softwares, or move their limits a big range over if they have been written with portability in mind. Max usable amount of RAM is only *one* of those limits.

So, for processors able to support x84_64 archs, use it. Why would you use only a fragment of your computer's power?
