We've chosen to use use 64bit on our 16 and 32GB machines and have never looked back, but our initial requirements called for ~7GB for each JVM, so we didn't have a choice at the time. > Any ideas, Solaris should be capable of giving you ~3.5GB for JVMs with 32bit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
