Interesting. We've got a 4-way K570 w/3GB mem that we'll be moving from
HPUX 10.20 to HPUX 11.0 this weekend (8 hours of watching tape spin), which
means I can FINALLY get us to 8i! YAY!
So, why or why not should one go to 64bit? Here's my perception:
Pros
---------------
Should be faster (moving 2x as many bits around)
Cons
---------------
Requires major downtime to go from 32 to 64.
Patches don't seem to come as quickly as 32bit versions on HP.
Unknowns (for me)
-----------------
How much faster, if at all, and in what areas (mem, I/O, disk)?
Possible client problems? Our clients are all 8.0.5 for now.
Any difference/disadvantage if 3rd party OCI programs are
not recompiled?
TIA,
