It was only a few years ago that my advice was "Don't got 64 bit unless you know you need it." Of course, things are always changing, and at this point in time, my advice would be "only go 32 bit if you _know_ there's something that won't work in 64 bit." I can speak personally that we have a multitude of servers running PHP and Apache 2.2 on 64 bit FreeBSD with no trouble. I don't use MySQL, but I have a hard time believing that it's not 64 bit clean. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
