Hi guys and gals, i'm sorry i'm actually pretty uninformed as to the more complex business related things for sql and i have a rather simple question.

I have spent the past hour trying to find a version of sql that can run on my 64bit desktop.

Sorry if this post has been answered before or is easily found but i have been having some trouble.

Every time i think i find it i get sent to a link for the ebook for sql 200 64 bit version. So i get very sad face as some might say.

What im trying to do is get a version of sql compatible for my desktop that runs a game that requires you to have sql. but most people that run this game have 32 bit computers thus consequently they use a version of 32 bit windows SQL.

THE MISTAKE I DONT WANT TO MAKE!
I dont want to download a 64 bit version of sql and realise i need the 32 bit version to run this game properly, the game is MuOnline.

So one of my questions is... Is there a way to run a 32bit SQL server on a 64 bit pc? Because i wouldn't want to compromise the instructions for setting up this game server by not having the version they are using. OR, should i be using a 64bit version of SQL 2000 since i have ofcourse... a 64bit PC. It also said something about i can use a x86 32 or something like that if anyone knows if thats what i need then let me know.

Aside from that most importantly i just need links and the knowhow to get a functioning version of SQL 2000 on my 64bit desktop, sorry if anything i said was confusing and if that is the case please let me

Well i hope u don't think you "caught" me because that was a mistake on my part sorry.

I went to the sql 2000 and made that post and then i read the description and some of the other posts and thought that maybe i was posting somewhere that was a little over my head so i came here and pasted it to the one that says "new to sql server programing?", because i'm not so farmiliar with the program.
But if you have any direction you can point me in I would love that!
I was excited i thought someone was helping me but just this so my mistake!

my apologies
