Hi Brandon,
You can mix 32 and 64 bit without problems. Didn't you see that I wrote
that only my workstation is running on 64bit and all the slaves are on
32bit?

Hi Arjo,
So as Mark stated, the slaves must be 64 bit if that is what the workstation is
running, yes? Just want to be sure... I had never thought about it being a
problem using my old 32bit machines as slaves with a new 64bit machine. Too bad
money for new hardware doesn't grow on trees :)

Hi Mark,
I'm pleased to inform you that you can keep at least some of your money
in your pocket ;)
32 and 64 bit can be mixed without problems.
The slaves don't need to be as heavily equipped as the main work station.
Only my workstation is running on 64bit, all the slaves are still on 32bit.
When I render an image of my rather complex city it takes 3.2 G RAM on
my workstation.
But for the slaves 1 Gig of RAM is enough.
I used to have slaves with 512 K, but that has become too little, so I
updated them to 1 or 2 Gig.

Hi Arjo,
Oops, right... that also means all render slaves have to be 64bit and
have plenty of RAM when working with large plants.
