I would like to<br>know your experiences with the x86_64 port. How does it compare with<br>the i386 distribution in terms of stability, reliability and<br>performance ? How significant are the performance benefits gained by<br>using the x86_64 linux instead of i386 on the same system ? Keeping in<br>mind a production environment, which port of CentOS do you recommend<br>for a Core 2 Duo based server ? It would be great to have your<br>opinion.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Manish<br>_______________________________________________<br>CentOS mailing list<br>CentOS@centos.org<br>http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos<br><br>-- <br>This message has been scanned for viruses and<br>dangerous content by MailScanner, and is<br>believed to be clean.<br><br><br>For me it comes down to 2 things;<br><br><br>1) what are you going to use the server for ?<br><br>2) how much ram do you have ?<br><br><br>If these answers include database, webserver and/or > 4gb of RAM then I'd definately go 64bit. From what I've seen these are the main areas where 64bit will benefit you.<br><br><br><br><br></body><br />--
