[osol-discuss] RAID-Z: Just how big a performance hit does 32-bit give me?

[Austin]

I installed Solaris on a computer with a RAID-Z array.  Athlon XP 2500+, 512MB 
of RAM (which I'm going to double), 4 fast (by IDE standards) hard drives for 
the array.  The speed was not anywhere near as fast in comparison to the Intel 
Marix Raid-5 on a friends WinXP system.  Would upgrading to a 64-bit system of 
comparible speed really make that much of a difference?  People have said so, 
but I haven't seen very many benchmarks to really convince me that this is that 
true.
