Hmm... Good question :@) Maybe people tend to think 64bit is always better :@) Really there are some 64bit operations which are faster (maybe SSL and similar CPU-intensive operations), so may have sense using 64bit environments. Or for big databases and other applications requiring huge address space. But not always, you are right. > Personally I think the 64-bit host/32-bit guest setup is the best of > both worlds. maybe.
