Interesting reply.
So if I am right you can use R:BASE 9.0/9.1 64 both on Windows 32 and 64 but
what will be the R:BASE database limit on a 32 and 64 Windows ? If the
database is > 2Gb can this be used on Win 32 or is Win 64 min ?
Comparison:

Is there any experience using R:BASE 9.0/9.1 32/54 on Windows 32/64 and what
are the results of using more CPU or Memory or the server or on the client
when using R:BASE in a network with or without R:BASE on the client ?

Just so you know, 9.1 versions are not written to address 64 bit versions
of windows. The Delphi compiler is 32 bit.
32 bit software will still run on 64 bit Windows as long as the
installation program is smart enough to distinguish between 32 bit and 64
bit Windows as the current installers for RBase 9.x are.
So, Daniele, the hurdle you face is placing the RBase files in the correct
location to make it function properly.
Since 6.5 is no longer supported, unless someone has already figured it
out and is willing to share with you, I believe you are on your own with
this one.
One has to ask the motivation for your client wanting to use the 64 bit
server version to begin with.
Unless there is some specific 64 bit software that runs on the server that
can take advantage of the choice of O/S, I don't understand the benefit
(excluding the extra GBs of addressable memory) if the server is mostly a
file server.

Hi Daniele,
Depending the Windows 64 version (win 2003 64 - win xp 64 - win vista 64 -
win 7 64 - win 2008 64 or win 2008 r2 64) it is possible to run 32 bit
software on windows 64 in 32 bit compatible mode.
If there is buget I would sugest to update the R:BASE software from 6.5 to
the latest release 9.0 or 91 64 bit to benefit from both new features and
more memory support of Win 64 systems.
Best regards,
Marco
