Just curious, how big of a difference (indeed, what difference) does
64bit make?
It will make all the difference on a box with 16GB. On a 32bit machine,
you can use a PAE enabled kernel to allow the operating system to
address all the memory, but you're still stuck with a 4GB per-process
limit, which means if this will be a dedicated MySQL server, you're
wasting 12GB of memory.
Why wouldn't Linux use that 12GB for applications and (more
importantly) as a really big read cache?
