Tom--That doesn't match what I remember from when we first got the z9. I think that we, initially, ran with the 31 bit nuc on the z9. We are running 4.4, now, with the 64 bit option. Until recently, I ran my 2nd level test 4.4 system using the 31 bit nuc under a 4.4 nuc running with the 64 bit nuc.
