Yes, and it almost always on the top of top.

I still doubt if I move to 64 bit since its still considered beta by
the web GUI I am using and I have no intention of porting 2000 email
accounts plus a few websites to a new platform. Doing a
admin/reseller backup and restore is going to be nasty enough. If I
initially have 4G of RAM can I actually jump up to 8G later on i386
CentOS?
