Hmm.  I'll have to check into that more.  There is still SQL Server 2000
SP4  32bit which adds support for X64 by emulating 32 bit applications
with WOW64.  Of course, the emulation could negate any benefit you might
gain.

From what I have read, SQL server 2000 64it needs to be installed on
Itanium hardware and does not work on the X86 platform.
 
 
Thanks

Anyone done any good reading or have experience using Server 2003 X64?
In particular, I'm considering using Server 2003 X64 with SQL Server
2000 64bit edition on one of my new SQL servers.  The box is a PE2650
with dula 64bit 3.6ghz Xeon's. 

This box only has 4GB of RAM, but more will most likely be added.  I'm
not sure what kind of performance benefits I'd see, and what type of
compatability problems I may have. The SQL server runs SQL only (and
Double-Take) for high availability, so I couldn't forsee compatability
problems, but one never knows, the products are fairly new in terms of
official release.
