Why was the site using a 32-bit environment to begin with? Opterons have been cheap for years now, and all new Xeons are capable of 64-bit operation.

- MrRage 18y agoWhat chip in put out in the last 2 years or so couldn't run a 64 bit system? I'm pretty sure most of the AMD chips could... Edit: By chip I mean one for a desktop CPU, e.g. Atom don't count.
- lutorm 18y agoAtom 330 is also 64-bit.
- axod 18y agoIDK if it's relevant, but 64bit can seriously suck also. If you use a lot of pointers, you just doubled the memory you need for each pointer. In my experience, 64bit isn't a good way to save memory.
