32 bit?

I know this is probably the wrong forum, but is windows
2003 64-bit or 32-bit? What about Yukon?
Windows 2003 has both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, as does SQLServer 2000.
The same will apply to Yukon.

It's not a matter of configuration. The 64-bit versions are entirely
separate products. If you had purchased a 64-bit version, you would know it.

I know this is going to sound real stupid, but why would
one choose one over the other? We've just installed
Windows 2003 intended for SQL 2000. On what basis do you
make the call, 32 or 64?

|||64-bit apps require 64-bit hardware such as a server based on Intel's
Itanium processor. The benefits are performance and high-end scalability but
there is obviously significant extra cost involved too.
SQLServer 32-bit is still a very powerful, scalable database on the right
hardware, capable of supporting thousands of users and many Terabytes of
data so the chances are that it is more than capable of doing what you
require. If your operation was of a scale that you would benefit from the
64-bit version then you would know about it.
Hope this answers your question.

|||There are 64-bit Windows. There is a Windows XP 64-bit and a Wndows =
2003 64-bit. But there are also 32-bit for each of them as well. =
Regrettably neither are 16-bit.
As for Yukon not sure but note 64-bit will not run on 32-bit and 32-bit =
will not run on 64-bit except as an emulated application. Sort of like =
running a 16-bit application in Win32 or like running a 32-bit in Win16 =
aka Win32S.
