I'm going to install Ubuntu 10.04 Server in a virtual machine and want run MySQL and Lighttpd on it.
Are there any benefits or disadvantages between 64-bit and 32-bit virtualization, except the 4 gigabyte memory limit on 32-bit machines.
I use Virtualbox.
what would be a command to run in different distros?
Microsoft advices to use /3Gb switch in Boot.ini in order to get more memory for a process running on 32bit system.
Currently I need a lot of memory for devenv process (Visual Studio 2008) because I have a complex solution that has a lot of projects and forms and consumes a lot of resources in design time.
I would like to ask, if anybody knows, what are negative aspects of using /3Gb switch, are there any circumstances where it is not recommended to use it.
I have a machine with 4gb of RAM, but Linux is only detecting two in top and free. The BIOS reports 4.
Running i386 Debian Lenny.
This question is asked out of total ignorance and no access to a 64 bit windows machine, but I would like to know whether there is anything special that needs to be taken into account regarding a 64-bit registry and whether there is a regedit64 the way there was a regedit32.
