Both have 4 gigs of ram. 64-bit platforms will in general show more memory use than a 32-bit platform due to pointers etc being twice as big. Linux on amd64 will also appear to have unnaturally virtual memory use due to the way the loader/kernel interact. But this isn't actually physical RAM being used up so don't worry about it. To compare the two systems make sure that you have exactly the same modules being loaded; PHP for instance will show up larger VM use because it drags in so many shared libraries. joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
