Hello,
i have heart about the x86 builds of Apache on blackdot.
Which advantages do they have? Is the Apache x86 more performant..or can it just assign more than 4GB RAM?

And then a general question...is the Windows version of Apache as good as the linux version?

A application itself must be written to take advantage of what your 64-bit CPU has to offer. Without this, there isn’t going to be any benefit in performance on an x64 platform. Apache is not (yet) developed with X64 in mind.

I have seen reports that X64 applications actually performed worse in 64-bit than it did in 32-bit Windows.

Sorry overlooked your other question.

The Apache Windows version is based on exactly the same code as the linux version. And nowadays Apache is developed with Windows in mind.

The mean reason I started the ApacheLounge was that Apache on Windows is as good as on Linux.

Thanks for your answers.

It looks that i have no advantage of using the x64 version of Apache...So, what is it for? Just for fun?

well x64 (64 bit) is to take advantage of the adressing limit (witch is twice as high as the 32 bit Wink)
exactly what these adresses are used for i don't know. but there are there to make apps be abel to handle more...
