Re: [Networker] 64-bit versus 32-bit NW?

Hi George,

Not sure if it matters, but I would use the 32bit JRE for Linux 64 since
the documentation specifically pointed it out.
NMC client doesn't use that much memory so using the 64 bit JRE wouldn't
help much anyways.
64 bit JRE is useful if the Java App needs to use more than 2 GB of memory.
