If you have a system with 8x the size of memory than another system,
it will _need_ more memory just to run.

I run 64-bit CentOS 5.2 on a system with 4GB of ram and have never had
a memory problem, and only one time when it was 2GB and I
inadvertently tried to open 300+ JPEGs all at the same time.

IMNSHO, if you have a 64-bit CPU, unless you have a specific need to
run in 32-bit mode, use it (64-bit mode).
