Hi,
I now have my Freenas box up and running, and I want to turn my own Nas4FREE box into a backup appliance offsite.
The machine has a rather slow atom based processor that is 64bit, however the motherboard is limited to 3gb only, so that's the max.
For these specs, and for a 4x2tb box, would I be better off going with 64bit os or 32bit os? I know the docs say 4gb is minimum for 64bit, but that's for a machine that should be served on a daily basis, not a machine that just receives backups on a daily basis over a WAN connection.
Thanks.
