Re: [bitfolk] 64-bit support

Hello, As you may be aware, BitFolk currently doesn't support 64-bit guests. The reasons for this are: - 64-bit is alleged to be a little slower and use more memory per-process compared to 32-bit. - 99.04% of BitFolk customers have less than 2GiB addressable RAM. - Supporting only 32-bit or only 64-bit is a bit simpler. We do, however occasionally lose custom due to not supporting 64-bit guests. A future memory upgrade (not planned as to when) will obviously push more people into the space where >2G RAM per process would be beneficial, so I will consider switching to only 64-bit by that time. Will anyone be terribly upset to leave 32-bit behind? To clarify I am saying that after that point new installs would have to be 64-bit. Existing 32-bit installs would be unaffected. Also if you have a requirement for 64-bit it would be appreciated if you could vote for: https://tools.bitfolk.com/redmine/issues/27
