In the specific case of i386 to x86_64, you get better performance for
64 bit in m

Except for the published security hole it gives your system.

For almost all situations, I don't see any benefit to staying with
32-bit on servers. There's apparently a narrow case for 32-bit on th

Not always it's faster, everything depend of application one will be
faster one will be slower.

This comes up from time to time here. Here's an authoritative answer
from someone who knows what he's talking about:

Hi,
Two issues related to this, i.e., the capacity and the speed. The
64bit systems means you can store more data accessable faster than the
32bit systems. The 64bit OS should be more powerful, in particular
for multitasking. These days, the PC RAM's come with the capacity of
4-10 G, enabling fo

so why you do no mention that 64 bit uses more ram?

From a user perspective, the major difference is that there is no practical
Flash plugin for 64 bit. If you need to watch Youboob, you'll have to stick
to i386. At leas
