If performance is your biggest concern, then use the 32bit OS on
windows, even with less memory. If the server is dedicated for
witango, you might as well use 32bit, because you will get almost no
benefit from the memory, when witango is using wow. Since witango is
32bit, it can only address 1.5 gigs of ram anyway. We use linux 64
bit servers, but have cheaper hardware, just for witango, running
windows 2003 web edition, on servers with only 2 gigs of ram. And our
db servers and php servers are all on 64 bit linux fedora core 5.
MySQL on 64bit dual core flies.
I have no data on running witango linux server on 64 bit linux.

OK, I have looked through the mail archive and can't find a
single answer to my situation so maybe there isn’t one. However I
will put it to this group in the form of soliciting
recommendations. We are currently running in a Windows 2003
environment on a 32-bit architecture. We are going to be relocating
our servers to Dallas on new servers which will be running under a
64-bit technology. Now I have read about running Witango 5.5 in WOW
mode but some people indicated this would be slow because of
emulation. We can also install the 32-bit OS on these 64-bit
machines but my understanding about that is we will be limited to
4gig of RAM if we did.
If you were running Witango 5.5 on a 64-bit box what would you
see as the best way to set up a new environment? Linux? WOW? Yes,
we also have to run a web server on one of these boxes. Thanks for
your input!
