very close here.  As we build our new PS4 Farm I challenged the team to do
as much with the 64 bit version as possible.  I think we are just rolling.
I'll report back anything we find.

No takers? I was hoping to provoke some discussion - either I'm way behind the times and evrybody is using this or (and I can't believe this) I'm slightly ahead of the game, or everybody has got one in their labs and is keeping quiet ..........

Well, as far as I can see this hasn't been aired for a couple of months
so I'm wondering what the experience is out there. I have the
opportunity for a completely new build on a new infrastructure and am
toying with a simultaneous 32 and 64 PS server build to see how it goes.
I've seen the following :

CTX105744 - but this is dated October last year and can't immediately
see any updates to this and the only thing that puts me off under
functionality not supported is 'Oracle' without any further explanation.

KB282423 - again a few months old. The bits that concern me with this
one relate to MDAC (but on re-reading may not be an issue), and '64 bit
I.E. cannot load 32-bit ActiveX controls' - which may be the killer.

I was encouraged by Brian Maddens article
http://www.brianmadden.com/content/content.asp?id=518 about 'dropping' a
64 bit PS server into an existing 32 farm. Although long term I don't
particularly fancy running a mixed farm.

Thoughts, discussions, opinions, real experience please.

Regards,

Alan.
