Hi All,

I am running vserver on 32bit boxes for years now. I am know replacing
one group of nodes with nice Dual AMD Quad-Cores which run a 64bit
debian host OS.

As I have to update the guests anyway (I used and will use gentoo for
them), so I am considering to move them to 64bit, too. The guests are
several LAMP servers, mysql and postgres and a set of qmail nodes.

The only issue that is an obvious go for 64bit would be memory segments
>3GB, but I guess I wont have guests who use it. So, anybody here can
give pros and cons for 32/64 bit guests?

regards

Oliver
