I'll give this baby a spin on my x64 binary this wednesday when i have the time. All modules I use now run on x64 so Converting should be a breeze

I have a question for you. Do you run 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Apache?

If so, do you sense or have you measured a difference in performance?

I for both installed. 32-bit auto boots.
the 64-bit only when testing modules and such.

I've found a small performance decrease actually, which is compensated by the better network kernel in Windows NT 5.2 (x64). So you don't lose anything.

64-bit does have the advantage of the extra memory it can access...
Using 8gb ram with a memcache should give an huge boost! Likewise for the RAM hungry mass virtualhosting with php.

So preforance boost = no, Advantage = yes

I agree with Jorge. I haven't done any official testing but performance wise it's close for 32-bit and 64-bit. Some operations are faster, some aren't. Overall it's very close. Remember, right now PHP's target is 32-bit systems. Eventually we may see optimizations in 64-bit.

Some advantages include:
  • Larger memory addressing (great for caching extensions such as Zend Optimizer or APC which both DO give a performance boost).
  • For IIS, 64-bit PHP is required to use other 64-bit applications (like .NET x64) on the same server. (I use Apache but many who use IIS have contacted me telling me that this has been a huge help)
  • 64-bit is the future


I wouldn't recommend PHPx64 if your application is vital or you just want it to work. However, if you want to explore what is to come, give it a shot.
