Overall performance depend on many things: CPU speed, number of CPUs, memory size, I/O, especially, virtual memory paging, network interface bandwidth 64bit machines come with better capacity except cpu computation speed! Have you ever tried 64bit Windows desktop or laptop over 32bit machine? This will tell you exactly. If your application is data intensive, big memory over 4GB can work better with reduced I/O operations! Database servers or WS that support session information of thousands of users over long period of time, having big memory improve performance. If you have studied computer science and engineering basics, you shouldn't be arguing about slowness of 64bit crunchers! Otherwise 64bit machines suck! That;s why 64bit Windows is not popular. I don't them many shops selling! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-with-8-GB-memory-tf4149367.html#a11826413 Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
