I was faced with a similar problem last autmumn - we had been running 6.2 on a set of servers with 4 gig or RAM, but purchased new servers with 16 gig in them. I experimented with various things - PAE being my initial try, and ended up opting for 7.0 (prerelease) usin amd64. It worked like a charm. Note that I only shifted the OS to amd64 - I still ran my application code as the existing 6.2/i386 binaries. Didn't want to make a drastic shift in the application at the same time. It all ran fine - but our application is staticly linked, so that did make things simpler. Since then I;ve migrated almost everything we have over to amd64 and 7.0 and we are very happy with it - the only machines that havent been moved are those which cannot run in 64 bit mode (two desktops and two older servers). So, I would recommend going with amd64 if you can. -pete. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
