Dear
> I am going to select which 64-bit processor could be better for

>than 2GB. We have a robust cluster of Intel debianized Linux machines,
>where we do most of the work. As a matter of fact AIPS software need a 64
>bit based machine. I'm considering to buy an Alpha or a Sun. I saw the
>info about the Debian porting on UltraSPARC machines, but I'm not really
>convinced about the statement that applications will run on 32 bit (SPARC
>mode). What does it means ? If I have an application which needs to handle
>so huge files how this will be managed ?
> Does anyone have tested such application "live" ?
> Answer and support will be very appreciated.
