FreeBSD 32bit vs 64bit on machine with 2GB memory
The only reason I can see for using FreeBSD amd64 (8.2-stable) on a machine with only 2GB of memory would be ZFS. In that case you don't need any kernel memory fiddling.
Because we won't be using ZFS, I think I better would use FreeBSD i386. Any other ideas/opinions?

Little performance gain on amd64, and You will not have 3D hardware acceleration on amd64 with wine
I would say if there is no specific reason why You would want to stick to i386, go amd64.

Is is a server in a data center, so X and Wine is out of the question

Thanks for all recommendations. We will go for 64-bit.
