32 or 64 bit?
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 12:52 am
Hi, newbie here, though I have now installed Amahi 4 or 5 times in two weeks (its how I learn things!).
I'm now happy enough with it that I am going to get rid of the old Pentium 4 and build something brand new so I don't worry about hardware failing.
Spec is as follows:
Asus M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 (AMD chipset, onboard GFX, 6x sata 6gbps, usb3, 8-ch sound)
AMD Phenom II x4 965 8mb Cache 3.2GHz Quad-core
4Gb (2x2) PC1600MHz memory
1x Crucial 64Gb SSD (swap & boot & '/')
5x Samsung HD204UI 2TB 5400rpm (1st one as 'var/hda/files', rest as 'var/hda/files/drives/samsung2' [then 3, 4, 5] )
So.....32 or 64 bit?
To confirm; its a server, once installed I won't be using it for anything, browsing etc.
But I have installed each time in 32 bit and am happy with it.
I also worry about drivers.
Your advice is welcome.
cheers
