Can I install 32-bit SQL2000 on 64-bit W2K3 R2 OS?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but we're ordering a new server, and we get our choice of OS with it. So I'd like to have 64-bit OS if I can.

In the larger plan, is there any problem upgrading from 32-bit SQL2000 to 64-bit SQL2005?

Thanks!!

You can, but SQL 2000 32-bit must be fully patched in order to be stable on 64-bit hardware.

I haven't heard of any issues during migration from 32-bit 2000 to 64-bit 2005. I advise doing that as soon as possible to reap the benefits Smile
