It's relevant in terms of the number of concurrent users and the
utilisation of RAM. Superserver + all its connections, a single
process of many threads, is a 32-bit process, so it can't address > 2
Gb of RAM in toto.

Classic is the choice if your connection count is likely to escalate
to more than ~300 or so. You just need to give it plenty of
RAM. The 2 Gb limitation is irrelevant for Classic, of course.

All this fell into place for me in the wee hours this morning, as I
