I have a number of servers that I am about to upgrade to FreeBSD 9.0. = The processors all have the ability to run i386 or amd64. The machines = all have 2 GB memory which is more than adequate for their intended use. = Some of these are replacing very old equipment that is being retired = and did not have the ability to run amd64 so everything has been i386 = till now. The question is what are the advantages or disadvantages of = switching to amd64? I have tested all the various applications on amd64 = and they work fine. Is there going to be any benefit down the road in a = few years to being on amd64? If so, now would be the time to switch.
