[Xen-users] 32/64 bit confusion

[Joe Auty <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I just discovered that the 32 bit FreeBSD works fine for me as a guest 
OS, but the 64 bit version doesn't. My host is a 64 bit Intel machine 
that supports full virt.
Does Xen support 64 bit guests? Is there any benefit to running a 64 bit 
guest on 64 bit hardware performance-wise, or are there bottlenecks 
(e.g. Xen itself not being 64 bit).
I'm debating whether KVM + 64 bit FreeBSD vs. Xen + 32 bit FreeBSD would 
ultimately be faster for me, or whether the difference would be 
negligible? I know that 64 bit does not equal faster, and my machine 
also doesn't have more than 4 gig of RAM, so perhaps I'm splitting hairs...
Anyone care to straighten me out? :)
