There's no 1GB of RAM limitation with 32 bit. Perhaps you meant 4GB of
RAM?
So it really makes me

Indeed. I'm amazed every time somebody tells me he just had a
Thank you all for your answers.
I suppose the conclusion is that using 32 bits for application is a nice
workaround for applications that cause trouble as 64 bits, unless it's
really computation intensive (simulations etc.). Maintaining the
necessary 32 bit libraries is a not fun, but nothing

Hi,
It has suddenly hit me, that there's no apparent reason to run most
executables as 64 bits on a x86_64 machine. I mean, what for? It's not
like I expect Firefox to address 1 GB of RAM. If it does, let it crash.
