32-bit vs. 64-bit Replication Server on Windows x64

[Former Member]

Hi

One of my customers has RS 15.6 32-bit installation on Windows x64 box, probably for historical reasons. After some tuning, the memory consumption of RS is still far below 4GB. So, will it worth to migrate the RS installation to 64-bit binary? I need to install the last ESD anyway, just would like to know if 64-bit version provides any benefit over the 32-bit version besides the memory allocation limit.

Thanks in advance

All the available Replication Server counters are now defined as 64-bit, which allows high-precision computations in Replication Server. Which means 64-bit version is faster ther 32-bit version.
