| I need to deploy another prd sql 2005 box. The primary app db for this box is 32-bit. I am wondering if there is any gain to using 64-bit Server 2003 while running 32-bit SQL Server?I know I could use Server 2003 EE with AWE enabled on SQL. Is this the better option?Thanks. |

| Well, I wasn't sure whether running this 32-bit db on 64-bit sql is a supported config. So you are saying that 64-bit SQL will run 32-bit and 64-bit app db's? |

| yep. no difference in file structure. you can either detach/attach or restore a backup to the 64 bit version from 32. |

| You should install 64-bit SQL Server in 64-bit Server. Otherwise there is no point in 64-bit server. I mean Memory advantages and etc. |
