Re: 64bits or 32 bits on ESX?

I have seen no difference in performance. Now, if you want large memory for
a DB server, and you should, 64 is the way to go.

I'm currently running CentOS 5 64-Bit vm's for the SaaS app I support.

Works great on ESX 4U1.

Subject: [GENERAL] 64bits or 32 bits on ESX?

We are going to be setting up a PostgreSQL server on a guest under VMWare
ESX 4... Is there any performance improvement by choosing 64bits Linux over
32bits Linux as the guest OS or is it almost the same?

Regards,
