Me too. 8-)
Da! The i386 release is blistering fast and very well behaved on the Opterons in our shop.
Yup, it's very happy on my dual Opteron 270 boxes too. Is there any reliable information on potential speedup by going to 64-bit? For typical server duty, I can't see how, but I'm sure that's not the case on boxes with big honkin' databases or ones doing serious number crunching.
