Hi, yes GENERIC+PAE support - I have 6GB RAM and works OK on i386+PAE (as mailserver). I can live w/ i386 just observing the options to migrate it during the planned time. Anyway not a must. Thank you and the rest of the people sending the info. I will read carefully the links and evaluate. Very useful info for my case.
