Neither conclusion is true. We have 8 GB machines using 32-bit CPUs, and proper 64-bit systems (those that are not IA64 based) are pretty much always faster than IA32. > In Java, if you use lots of memory and create lots of objects, > your Java applications will have periodic seisures!

The time taken for a garbage collection (even a full one) is pretty much independent of the size of the heap; it is very dependent on the number of live objects in the heap, which tends to be relatively constant for any given application. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
