I do a lot with an x64 Terminal Server - I just don't happen to run Citrix
on it so I can't speak to the Citrix release.
You can get more users, but there is a bunch of "buts". But you will buy
more memory just for the same number of users. But there are potential
driver issues (although that is much less of a problem, only the oddball
driver). But there is no DOS (which means there must be a God). But you
might have to train users to use the 32 and 64 bit versions of IE for
different add-ins. Etc...
I do recommend staying with 32-bit apps on an x64 server, when you have a
choice. The overhead is exceptionally small and the apps will use less
memory (40-70% difference on average), so if the app gains no functionality
stick with the smaller one.

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 ..........

Subject: [THIN] 64 bit experience
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.
