What mode are the Wikipedia OSs running on for the 64 bit machines? Is it 32 or 64 bit mode? We have some 64 bit processors but our hosting provider recommends we run the OS in 32-bit mode unless we require a huge amount of memory - which we don't. Are we missing out on anything by doing this?
In general, no, you're not missing out unless you're doing certain kinds of computational loads that can really benefit from the extra registers (compiling things is a textbook example).
