I am not against 64-bits (we use it for many, many years using Solaris) but what concerns me is the stability of 64-bit Linux. Can you share your experience regarding stability of 32-bit and 64-bit CentOS ? Does anybody use 64-bit CentOS in production (web applications) environment ?

Thank you all for your answers. It seems that stability of 64-bit CentOS is not an issue.

However, to continune this discussion, could you please explain why did you switch to 64-bit environment ?
If you have databases and want to use buffer cache bigger then 4GB it is clear for me. In other words
64-bit for databases is perfect solution (unless your requirements for database cache are really small).
But how about other environments like web servers, fileservers, application servers ?
Why did you switch do 64-bit ? What did you gain (from technical point of view) ?
