I just read the following article:
http://people.planetpostgresql.org/mha/index.php?/archives/162-PostgreSQ L-vs-64-bit-windows.html Would there be benefits in running PostgreSQL in a 32 bit mode on a 64 bit version of XP? My thought is that the OS could access more of the memory for the caching of the files. I come to this understanding because on my production Linux box, I don't allocate more than a 2 Gig to PostgreSQL. I leave the rest of the memory available for the caching of disk files. So even though PostgreSQL would be running in a 32 bit mode it seems like it would still run better on a 64 bit XP box compared to a 32 bit version. This of course assumes that one does have a sizeable database. Is this a correct assumption?

When will the 64 bit version be available? Thanks, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs University of Illinois 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu
