The benchmarks are quite the wrong sort of benchmarks to test an LTSP server, so I opine that 64 bit servers are significantly better. As for 64 bit clients, I repeat my earlier statement: > In general I would say avoid 64 bit unless you know you want it. The whole multi-media area is much easier these days, but the arguement for 64 bit clients is not compelling for me or my users. The dis-advantage of two (32 and 64) chroots is two times as much work to maintain, the dis-advantage of only 64 is always needing the right clients.
