I'd go with 64-bit at 2GB and above. It's both faster and safer.

safer, how? (apart from no lowmem exhaust).

Nothing apart from that (well, if you run nonpae you lose NX protection).


On a different subject, the qemu documentation says a guest VM can only have 2Gb of memory - does this still apply when using a 64bit host O/S ?

The documentation is outdated.


Since you can run a 64-bit kernel with your existing userspace, at least
you have a simple upgrade path.

Not sure I like the idea of running a 64bit user space kernel on top of a 32bit host, prefer to re-install.

Can I just replace my kernel with a 64bit one, or do I have to re-install the host O/S ?

You can run 32-bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel, or reinstall, whichever you prefer.

I once upgraded a 32-bit Fedora install to 64-bit, but that takes some tinkering.
