and requires no changes to your existing code. For applications

that do not need more than 4 GB of memory, a 64-bit software 

migration may not be the best solution. An alternative strategy is 

to scale your existing solution by upgrading your servers. Even 

a simple platform upgrade can provide substantial performance 

improvements, especially if you’re replacing a three- to five-year-old

server. You may also benefit from a variety of new technologies that

can help reduce your TCO through improved manageability and

power savings.

and driver support. On a traditional 32-bit platform, the OS and all

applications typically share the 4 GB of available memory (in most

cases, the OS reserves about half of this total memory for itself). By

running existing 32-bit applications under a 64-bit OS, you can pro-

vide 4 GB of memory for each application. Since this strategy in-

volves a migration to a new OS, you will need to install compatible

drivers and test your applications in the new operating system.
