But in architecture & board name you will still find x86 written which is normal for this version & thus we have Mikrotik 64 bit RouterOS ready. Voila! You now have 24 GiG of RAM as well as 8 Core as mentioned before.

So, I started some R & D’s with the ROS & stuff and came to a conclusion that yes that same x86 iso which we download from the mikrotik website is 100% compatible with 64bit version and can use >2 GiG RAM & I tested with 24 GiG.

But in reality it never happened and Mikrotik people can’t even say if it’s gonna happen or not. While some were happy with CHR others were still looking forwards for Mikrotik 64 bit RouterOS from Mikrotik as it’s more reliable and pretty straightforward. We were always wondering when Mikrotik will release a 圆4 version for our 64 bit PCs which can support more than 2 GiG RAMs.But unfortunately mikrotik trashed the plan for Mikrotik 64 bit RouterOS & eventually released their CHR Series for Virtual Machines.

Had been super busy with my new ventures & consulting. Okay, so I’m posting this article on Mikrotik 64 bit RouterOS say after almost a year.
