    Is there a difference in speed between using 32-bit or 64-bit Clonezilla Server or Live?

    Using DRBL Live to deploy to 64-bit machines seems much faster (say 3 GB/min) than our 32-bit machines at work (less than 1 GB/min). Or is the slowness simply because the 32-bit machines have slower processors and less RAM?

    Normally the difference won't be too big if the hardware is exactly the same. However, With faster processors and larger RAM, of course the performance will be better.

    Good to know, thanks!

    The reason I wanted to know is, I'm using YUMI to multiboot DRBL/Clonezilla Live from my flash drive, and I can only have one instance of a given program (it doesn't recognize 32 and 64-bit as being separate). So if the speed difference is negligible, I'll just put 32-bit on to avoid the hassle of slow CDs. :P

    I've since downloaded the latest version of YUMI and there is now a 64- and 32-bit distinction. Many thanks to the developers for this! :)
