This is an interesting benchmark test between x32 and x64 bit. I may be
stuck in "x64 is way mo betta" for no reason. From a speed standpoint,
anyway...
So, Ent Ed on this guy might actually be the way to go. And in all
actuality, I wouldn't really need to worry about loading virtual server on
it anyway, as I would just load everything into that instance.
I'll see if everything loads properly... Good call Gerald. Thanks.
