DSS 64-bit vs. 32-bit

[pfeifferl]

Hi!

I have a new DSS server with Intel XEON E5420 QC, Supermicro Mainboard X7DBE, 4 GB RAM, Areca Raid Controller ARC-1261 ML 16xSATA II etc.

Do you recommend to start in 64-bit kernel mode? What are the advantages of 64-bit mode? More performance? What else ...?

Thank you & best regards,
Lukas

Our vendor's support also said yesterday, that 64-bit would be recommended. OK, we'll try. Thanks.
