For servers, I moved to 64bit about 4 years ago. At the time, there were a lot of programs that wouldn't compile properly or whatever, but there was always a way to get around it. Nowadays, there's very very little difficulty. I am running RHEL / Centos. Also, I installed Exchange recently, and discovered 32bit is no longer an option. You have no choice but to run 64bit windows server, at least if you want to run exchange. As far as laptops/etc are concerned - I do have a couple here and there which run 64bit for memory reasons. But there are still a lot of programs out there that simply don't work on 64bit. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
