Hi

select @@version will return "(Intel X86)" as part of the string for 32 Bit.

There are still more 32bit installs than 64bit Itanium installs.

Hi

For SQL Server 2000, "Intel X86" implies 32bit version.

SQL Server 2000 64 Bit only runs on an Itanium.

SQL Server 2005 64 Bit only runs on an Itanium and there is a separate build
for X64/EM64T processors.

There have been a few discussions on this in these newsgroups. Have a Google
for them.
