6.X is the last of versions meant primarilly for single processing
machines (with some after thought payed to multiprocessing).

7.X is the beginning of the versions specifically designed with
multiprocessing/cores in mind

Under the hood many things have been changed improved in 7.... the
offical recommendation is 6.3 is for people who can *NOT* upgrade to 7
for whatever reason and everyone else should use 7... note as far most
people can tell there is no "easy" way to upgrade to 7 if you have 6
installed so you should start with 7
