The other key is whether companies would need both 32 bit and 64 bit simultaneously. Why would they not simply go over to 64 bit at one time? Because companies run more than one program at the time. The expense of acquiring licenses for every piece of software that runs on server, (some of which may be custom developped) is neither easy, nor cheap. Not every company currently runs the latest version of every software package. If your software vendor indeed has a 64 bit version of your software, you will get the latest version, which may force you to do another round of testing, to make sure everything still works. A completely new setup may be easy with a single purpose machine, say a database server, where the only thing running on the machine is the OS and the Database. Then, you have only 2 variables to deal with. Joe
