This is an interesting benchmark test between x32 and x64 bit.  I may be
stuck in "x64 is way mo betta" for no reason.  From a speed standpoint,
anyway...

So, Ent Ed on this guy might actually be the way to go.  And in all
actuality, I wouldn't really need to worry about loading virtual server
on it anyway, as I would just load everything into that instance.

I'll see if everything loads properly... Good call Gerald. Thanks.
