Any recommendation/guidance to the user on 32-bit Vs. 64-bit

Post by kkmk »

Hi,

We are migrating our TM1 to 10.1.1 version and is there any recommendation/guidance to the USER on 32-bit Vs. 64-bit version?

Thanks

Does v10 add 64-bit clients? We're on 9.5.1 where the 64-bit distribution is server only. If so, I'm not sure why there'd be any advantage to the 64-bit client-- in fact I'd guess it'd be buggier since the install base is lower.

No, there is not a 64 bit client. The 64 bit install puts in the 32 bit client.

From a client perspective Matt is correct in that there would be no benefit that would be noticed. There are small server considerations (increased memory for address space), if you are going 64 bit I would hope the hardware came with additional memory.

Though it was not mentioned by the poster i will include that 64 bit Excel is not supported by TM1.
