Thank you. |

The reason to change to 64bit is maybe I'll have 8 GB instead of 4GB of |
| 4 |
memory. PAE is already enabled in kernel, so I have no problem accessing |
| 5 |
memory above 3Gbyte. Is there any performance increase can be expected if I |
| 6 |
spend my time on this migration/reinstall? |
