You can also install 32 bit rpms on a 64 bit system to get mutilib
compatibility. Its not done by default any longer but you can still
install all or some of the 32 bit rpms so that 32 bit programs will work.
I will need to do this when I upgrade my machines at home to RHEL 6
because I have some software that I run that can't be built as 64
bit. :( But some other software I use more gets a performace boost with a
64 bit system. So I just go with 64 bit install with as many 32 bit
packages as possible. Then I can run everything.

The memory limit for 32bit RHEL6 seems to be 16 Gb
Is there a way to raise this limit to 32 gb, as I happen to have two machines
with 32 gb?
I have test instaell RHEL6 on one of sees, and it uses only 16 gb out of the
available 32 gb.
I know that I can use more memory if I switch to 64bit Linux.
I would prefer to stay with 32bit, though, for software compatibility
reasons.
