My processor is AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ and
I've got 6 Gb of memory.

I'm planning to put up a few database / web servers under RHEL5.

Should I install 32bit or 64bit OS for my dom0 / domUs?

I remember faintly reading from somewhere that you benefit from 64bit
only if you have
lots of memory (over 8 gigs). Is this true?

Regards,
Peter
