space from elsewhere. Assu
Thanks to everyone for the helpful input. It looks like there is no
advantage to converting to 64-bit, which is just fine with me. The new
machine has 4GB of RAM, so I am not hitting address space issues. I don't
do anything more CPU-intensive than spam filtering. I do occasionally do
some I/O-inte
