RAM - Does it hurt to move an instance that has <4GB?
Yes. OOM will be more common with 64-bit builds on systems with
less RAM because 64-bit builds use more memory.
Quite the opposite actually. The overhead is negligible, but the stability
improvement is tremendous. After switching to 64-bit I haven't crashed even
once for several months, whereas on 32-bit I crashed several times a week.
How much RAM do you have? 64-bit builds should use more memory than
32-bit builds under the same circumstances. As others in this thread
have noted, this can lead to easier OOM crashes and slowness to due
additional swapping. If you have a bunch of RAM these downsides go away.
