(ot) Ram usage for 64 bit Windows server 2k3 VS the 32 bit version

2011-05-09 Thread Gerald Guido
Quick question: Does the 64 bit Windows server 2k3 (and CF server 8.x 64 bit) use enough extra RAM than the 32 bit version for it to be significant? I am looking @ a Windows server 2k3 VPS with one gig of ram and was wondering if getting the 64 bit version would make any difference in terms of

64-bit OS only comes into play if you are going to be taking advantage of a lot of ram. If you are doing under 4 gigs for the box, there is no reason for a 64-bit OS, go with 32-bit. Judah On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Gerald Guido gerald.gu...@gmail.com wrote: Quick question: Does the 64

It would depend what you want to achieve. on 32bit you can only give 1GB or so to CF, with 64bit you can give a lot more. But if you are only going to have 1GB RAM anyway then there is no point as you will only really be able to give 512mb to CF anyway. On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 12:15 AM, Judah

Thanx Russ, It is just an el-cheapo VPS for my dev and hobby sites so it is no big deal. Thanx G! On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 7:23 PM, Russ Michaels r...@michaels.me.uk wrote: It would depend what you want to achieve. on 32bit you can only give 1GB or so to CF, with 64bit you can give a lot
