Saw that my host is now offering much better hw for the same price, which includes 8GB of RAM. Unfortunately a standard 32 bit OS cannot use more than 4GB without nasty hacks like PAE.

I've had no problems with FreeBSD 7.0 64 bit in the office, but that's a fairly simple setup with only a couple of applications running... does anyone run Apache/PHP/mysql etc on a 64 bit OS?
