Re: [osol-discuss] Would I be wasting my time with intel P4 3GBram (32bit)

I think the only noticeable limitation with 32-bit processor is amount of RAM 
supported. Otherwise it should be fast.

If you use zfs with P4, 32 bits, you will get something like 20-30MB/sec read 
write speed to your zfs raid. You need 64bit cpu to get full r/w speed, because 
zfs is 128bit.

 I will soon have a pair of older P4 3.2 Ghz (32bit) (single core)
 to put out to pasture.
 
 Would I be wasting my time thinking of using one or both for zfs
 fileserver, and sharespace to carry out video editing and other
 Graphics From networked i7 running Win 7.

Note that Oracle will remove support for x86 32-bit soon, so
the next Solaris Express or Solaris 11 release will likely not
run on that box. You might want to consider switching to an
alternative such as OpenIndiana.
