Hey Mark,
Yeah I realise that...that's why I'm putting it on a 2008 x64 now. I do plan to upgrade our SQL server to x64 later this year, but it would involve moving all our other databases and testing all of those apps at the same time...something I don't have time for at the moment :-). But yeah, definitely planning to make the upgrade path to 2010 compatible.

Hi Ken, Just thought I'd mention the next version of Sharepoint does require x64 SQL. Might be worth installing it now just to make the upgrade possible? :-) Regards, Mark From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Thompson Sent: Monday, 6 July 2009 7:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Installation on Windows 2008 x64, require x64 SQL? Hi Josh, Thanks for that, yeah that's what I thought and definitely understand the benefits of running x64...but there are going to be some late nights this week without having to install a new SQL server on top of everything :-). Thanks again.

Hi ken You will be ok running 64 bit front ends and 32 bit SQL. Performance is better with 64bit blah blah blah but not an issue otherwise cheers Josh From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Thompson Sent: Monday, 6 July 2009 7:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Installation on Windows 2008 x64, require x64 SQL? Hi Guys, After some time testing out SharePoint, I am about to install our live server on a Windows 2008 R2 RC x64 system. I just wanted to know if installing a x64 version of Sharepoint, requires a x64 SQL server? Not a major problem if it does...just a pain in the ass installing another SQL server for it (although would end up migrating old DB server to it also I guess). We currently run a SQL 2005 x86 server, will that suffice for my new x64 MOSS 2007 installation? Late on the year I would like to migrate the SQL to x64...but I want to do it when we migrate that whole SQL server, not just for MOSS if I can get away with it.
