I loaded up a new server IBM x3650, 2x Intel dual core cpu’s I installed additional RAM to take it up to 7 gigs according to http://www.centos.org/product.html#sevenCentOS 5 x86 which I am using supports up to 16gigs of RAM. Once I boot up CentOS only see’s about 3.2Gigs of Ram.
with 7G of ram, I'd install x86_64
Right ... either the PAE i686 kernel or x86_64 is required.
If no (or very few) i[3.6]86 packages are needed, then I would also recommend x86_64. If you have specific needs for the i386 arch then PAE.
