<okay okay I don't lurk well>
There are white papers regarding the peformance boosts you get on 64
especially in AD that I saw somewhere linked off a blog but I can't find
it now [probably on Brett's blog is where I spotted them]
in the meantime......

Oh and... in case you are wondering...Bob Muglia said the next version
of SBS will be 64 bit ;-) [Exchange is our drag and is not 64 at this time]

In my opinion the biggest bang for the buck is consolidation of
servers to the 64bit platform assuming of course that you have a large
enough database, greater than 3 GB, and put enough memory in the
servers to cache the entire database contents. I have come across
very few cases where Domain Controllers were truly CPU bound and in
almost all cases they were I/O bound. These servers perform extremely
well for servers that are taking large amounts of ldap traffic from
applications like Exchange.

*Subject:* [ActiveDir] Domain Controller Consolidation utilizing Dual
Core CPUs
Gentleman,
Does anyone has any information regarding Domain Controller
consolidation utilizing Dual Core CPUs?
I have not seen anything reports from microsoft indicating the
performance boost gained by utilizing Dual Core technology on DCs. It
is presume to be much better that the 20% to 30% gain from Hyper
Threading CPUs.
Thanks for your input,
Mauricio Funes
