Dear Friends,

What are the main advantages of debian amd64 compared to i386 debian besides to address more than 4GB of memory?

The standard Debian 6.0 kernel image of i386 has already been compiled with SMP-alternatives support.

Are there differences in processing speed between them?

Thanks,
Jose
