SQL 2000 x86 on Win2003 x64?
|
|
|
| Has anyone tried running SQL2k x86 on a Win 2003 x64 platform? Any issues?
Also, is there any benefit of running SQL in a x64 environment even though
it's only 32-bit?

| Yes. I run exactly such a system. Make sure and apply SP4 immediately
after installing. Also apply hotfix 2040 if you are using AWE memory.
I built it this way because it lets me buy better hardware with a longer
life cycle. I intend to recycle this server to run native 64-bit SQL 2005
after I have converted our application to that platform.
