Hi Lesli, Phil, I would check with your IBM rep in preparing for this upgrade. I am not certain, but I think that 32-bit Windows is simply right out. The memory requirements have grown past what 32-bit can provide, and Windows was the last hold out in this area anyways; I believe it was the only supported 32-bit OS in TSM 6.1. The page below states "some functionality is not available on the 32-bit systems" but I'm not even sure IBM will sell you the 32-bit product.
