The 32-bit MPTS offers better overall performance and new features such as
the built-in firewall. It is the best supported stack, so defect fixes
are more likely, if needed. Of course, overal performance depends on more
than just the TCP/IP stack. The NIC/driver combo may be the true
performance bottleneck. The same comments apply to the 32-bit TCP/IP
apps. IMO, there's no reason not to run the 32-bit MPTS stack. The
benefits of the 32-bit TCP/IP apps for a setup like yours, at the low end
of the utilization scale, are less clear.

For those with SWC or eCS, the choice is obvious. One runs the the 32-bit
versions of both because they are part of the MCP and they are as fully
tested as anything else in that configuration.
