I disagree completly. Osim run fine in 64Bits. All our sims are in 64B
and we don't experience any majour issues.

regardless of PAE in 32 bit mode the most memory OpenSim.exe could
consumeis 3.3gb of ram, Also my experience with 64 bit is less than
good, in windows there is no 64 bit with OpenSim, you can not make
ODE run in 64 bit mode in windows, and in Linux i experiece major
issues with openjpeg in 64 bit mode, I personally do not suggest
anyone run OpenSim in 64 bit mode unless you like issues. and to be
honest I have not seen a single case to date where any OpenSimulator
could run much past 2gb of ram anyway without totally blowing up, My
conclusion to 64 bit opensimulator is that you would be completly
wasting your time, the only way a 64 bit system is good is if you
have more than 4gb ram and plan on running multiple single instance
simulators in 32bit emulated mode where the total combined
requirements of the multiple simulators combined equals more than
3.5gb ram. Otherwise running opensimulator in 64bit mode gains you
absolutely nothing but problems trying to run in Native 64 bit mode.

It doesn't take alot of "tricks" to use beyond 3.5GB of memory with
a 32
bit OS. The PAE kernel will handle it. I have one system with 24GB
that's 32bit (for othe reasons). I've also run OpenSIm 64bit fine
recently so I think either approach is feasible. If I was starting
from
scratch with a system with lots of memory I'd probably do 64bit...
