Joe - Re: "In ideal world you are right. But what if you only need 1/4 of the power of the box to run the database, and your app may have a middle tier component, custom developped in say Java, VB or VC++ (all 32 bit). Suppose this also needs only say 1/4 of the power of the CPU. Also, you may have need web server, also needing only a fraction of the power. Would you buy 3 boxes, OS licenses, UPSs, add failover machine to each box, resulting now in 6 boxes? In extreme case, this may be needed. But in the real world, you may have a hard time justifying the budget for all of this." Are you serious - or just plain IGNORANT ? How do you think SUN has become a compan with $13 BILLION in sales and a market cap of $171 Billion ? They sell HUGE 64 BIT SERVERS for well over $100,000 a piece! You keep living in Cyrix MediaGX land. Is that all you can relate to? Paul
