32-bit with 64-bit memory extensions.

Can anyone from Microsoft tell us if Yukon will support the x86-64
architecture that is available in the Opteron chip and soon to be available
in the Xeon chip set? the reason for this is we use Microsoft Analytical
Services and SQL Server quite extensively here and the 2.7 GB memory
limitation in MSAS is killing us on cube builds.

I don't know the answer on the Yukon question, but thought if versions are
right, this article my be of assistance to you.

|||Everything I've heard says yes, they will support it, but I haven't seen
anything official. Also, the TechEd 2004 presentation PowerPoint slides are
available online and one of them says it will, slide 4:

|||This applies to SQL Server and not the MSAS component. That component is
written to handle only 2.7 GB of memory in the 32 bit world. It is unlimited
in a 64-bit world.
