[GLLUG] question about 32 bit vs 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04

[Mike]

There was a performance measuring program, and amd64 code could do the 
integer test about twice as fast as 32 bit code.

I got a mobo with a max of 32 gig of fast ram supported (four slots). 
So loading up the computer with enough ram, disabling swap, and get a 
lot of cores in the processor (amd fx chips are a good price per core 
count), results in a good machine, I'd say.

So, maybe just load up ram, and disable swap.
