Check the release notes that came with your Oracle installation, and the OS-specific docs. You say you did, so I guess what you see is what you get. ;-)

Here's an example. Does 64-bit have any effect on these settings vs. 32-bit? No warranty expressed or implied.

set semsys:seminfo_semmni=128
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=2000
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=128
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=10

Isn't Unix a pain? :-) The Linux flavor uses a significantly different way to specify the same info.
