Any performance penalty if 32-bit OS running on 64-bit hardware? Any 'translation' involved in this scenario?
Thanks.

You can buy, but not for servers, e.g. Intel Atom.
32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware vs 64-bit OS on 64-bit hardware, which one is better? Assuming same memory size and speed. I just like to know if there is any 'translation' overhead between 32-bit OS and 64-bit hardware.
