Hi,
If Your driving Your car and You're in a hurry, speedlimit is 80 mph, no 
traffic on the road at all and Your 
car ist fast enough. Would You drive 40 or 80 mph?
In other words, why installing either a 32 bit Operating System or 32 bit 
Application if Your platform is a 64 bit one.
As long as it is not mandatory to another application to run the 32 bit OS, it 
makes no sense. On the other hand
It's also a question of Support. As far as I know it's even not supported to 
run a 32 bit solaris on a 64 bit Platform.
Or why qould You buy a 64 bit machine for backup purposes if You could use a 32 
bit instead?
-Have a 64 bit environment: use it!

Hi All,


Im running 7.1.2 networker with only standalone sdlt drives on the
server and remote storage nodes, - Both servers fully patched solaris 8,
 Wondering if there is any significant advantage to moving from 32bit to
64 bit binaries ?

Regards

laurence
