Hello, I am interested in hearing opinions about if there are reasons to stay with a 32bit php/apache if there is 64bit options available. What are the pros/cons in running in the different architectures? (Fat Binary apache2, *nix platform)
I'm running an AMD 64-bit (phenom) dev system... I haven't experienced any problems yet. Generally speaking 64-bit will eat up a bit more memory though due to wider integer fields. Cheers, Rob.
Thanks, any other limitations, perhaps with extensions / libraries that you know of (using 64bit)? Donovan --
