Assuming you work with mssqlsvr, There are already 64-bit version of window server 2008 and mssqlsvr 2008. For 32-bit os, the sqlsvr alone would eat up almost all available 4GB memory. J odbc script can run in 64-bit mode. Not sure for dotnet (I didnt use). BTW how can you possibly get a 32bit x86 cpu nowadays (except atom in netbook or some via chip). -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
