djpic Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am looking into upgrading my current Fedora 9 to the 64-bit version and was wondering becides the amount of memory it supports, is there any other advantages? For example, will me running 64-bit allow php to calculate and use larger integers? I wrote an application about a month ago and couldn't finish it, well, finish it the easy way, becuase the resulting numbers were too large over the 32-bit limit. Will whiching to 64-bit help this in any? I don't use over 4GB so I don't really care about the memory advantage. If there is no other advantage that I can benefit from, then I will not upgrade the system. Let me know if anyone of you have any experience with this, thanks.
