But it depends on what your app does with the server. An option i may think of - holding a lot of query/cache data in the memory. IIRC you'll need to rework the firebird.conf for that.
From my experience: It is useful to use a 64er OS, so you have a lot of RAM to use for a lot of 32er applications. 64er applications would have to fit into that construct. And even an 64er OS uses a lot of 32er system processes and that. hth, Marcus > >
