Should I reinstall my production server from 32 bit to 64 bit if it has 16GB of RAM?

I have a production server with 16GB of RAM that came with a 32bit CentOs installation.

The website hosted on this server is increasing its traffic every day and I am having some MySQL trouble so I tried to check the MySQL configuration with mysqltuner.pl and gave me the following messages:

How does Windows 2008 R2 run 32-bit applications?

If 32-bit processor support is disabled in Windows Server 2008 R2, how does the operating system run 32-bit programs?

Answer [by Malte Clasen]: How does Windows 2008 R2 run 32-bit applications?

x64 CPUs can actually run 32-bit (x86) code in parallel to 64-bit code. The WOW64 layer of Windows translates the system calls of 32-bit programs to the…

What are the main benefits of Windows 64-bit over 32-bit for ASP.Net apps?

Besides the advantages of 64-bit memory allocation (> 4 GB – see this question on StackOverflow for why 32-bit +4 GB solutions won’t work for me), what other reasons do I have for recommending that we should host an ASP.NET website on 64-bit Windows Server 2008, as opposed to the 32-bit version?

If it’s only the larger…

Good reasons to keep 32-bit Microsoft Windows desktop OSes

Server software has been 64-bit only for a while now (Since Server 2008 R2 for Windows, even earlier for Exchange and Sharepoint) and even Ubuntu are pushing you away from 32-bit versions for their server OSes.

But is there any good, quantifiable reason to keep a 32-bit desktop operating system maintained? We’re preparing our Windows 8…

Should I install 32-bit database or 64-bit database?

(I’ve read a lot about 64-bit versus 32-bit OS/Apps, but this question is specifically in regards to databases.)

I’m trying to understand the pros and cons of 32-bit versus 64-bit databases, and namely, under what conditions that it starts to make sense to use 64-bit installations.

The database systems that I am interested in are: SQL Server…

Solution: Why does x86 represent 32bit when x64 represents 64bit? #dev #development #solution

Why does x86 represent 32bit when x64 represents 64bit?

My question is why is the shorthand for 32-bit x86 when the shorthand for 64-bit is x64?

I am guessing it has something to do with the days of 386s and 486s, when the 32-bit processors all ended in 86, but surely there were processors that didn’t end in 86 and where still 32-bit?

Anyone know the history of this or can direct me to a good…

x64 Windows reports 32GB RAM usable out of 64GB RAM installed – why?

I’ve got a server with 64GB RAM installed (reported in both the bios and in Windows), but the system information from control panel displays the fact that only 32GB of this is usable.

I’ve only ever seen this with 32bit windows when there’s too much RAM installed before.

It also seems unlikely that precisely half of the RAM is…
