64 bit?

[wbodger]

So, if I am running a 64 bit OS, do I have to run a 64 bit version of 2005? Is there even a stable 64 bit version of 2005?

No, you can run the 32bit version on a 64bit OS if you would like. However you do not get the memory benifits of 64bit, but you can do it.

Is there even a stable 64 bit version of 2005?

Um, yes. Why would you think that there is an unstable version of 64bit version of SQL 2005?

It seemed to me that I had heard of some not so stable 64 bit MS Apps, that's all. Thanks for the info.
