What do you guys recommend for a samba server, 64bit or 32bit?
It looks like 64bit is recommended if you're using ZFS. From http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide

"An amd64 system is preferred due to its larger address space and better performance on 64bit variables, which ZFS uses a lot. It is not known how nicely ZFS plays with PAE in 7.0-RELEASE."
