Thank you, you spent long to answer. I used 32 and 64bits, yes if on 64bit OS the application is not for 64 that (Maybe) makes problem. But the 64 system seems to stable too.
I wonder if it is faster or not; difference like single / duo CPUs. It maybe some difficult to see on a mail server, maybe some benchmark software says results but it is questionable that they are true on practic or not... Now i work on 64, hope to be running a few hours later, if God permits, but can not feel a difference until we have more and more customers and emails.
