Hello,

I own Ubuntu server 9.10 32-bit installed as Samba/CIFS server. (File server purposes).
I have recently installed on ASUS motherboard with microprocessor Quad Q8600 including 4GB RAM.

At present, I have two questions in hand:

1. What are the advantages of a 64-bit OS in excess of 32-bit?
2. For my type of reason of the server (file sharing) does upgrading to 64-bit will offer me some benefit?

Thank you in advance very much for your assistance.
