If I switch to the 32 bit version, which is the memory = limit On a server, switch to 64 bit. On a desktop machime, go with 32-bit. You will only be able to address slightly over 3 GB no matter which graphics card you use but on the other hand you'll have better supported drivers and 3rd party software. --------------enigC61C2AC6DBCAD558D0FEF66B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJ1gTeldnAQVacBcgRAitXAJ9GDdLEEQaBh0JYtvC6lrVScDpT1wCghu1A SdzQPf5Yi09m8z2QVdZrT34= =0EBl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC61C2AC6DBCAD558D0FEF66B--
