Dan, Good point. There is apparently an official MSFT hack that can give SQL Server 3 GB, rather than 2 GB, but thanks for the reminder that the limit is normally 2 GB. Any machine that is expected to be useful for the next 4-5 years (which seems to be the new length of the upgrade cycle) should be a 64-bit machine. Depends on application, but as far as selling the machines it will give AMD marketing great ammunition (not that they will know what to do with it). "THe processor can run all of today's apps, as well as 64 apps just around the corner, such as ___. THe computers based on AMD Opteron can address up to a 1 TB of memory, enough to store XYZ copies of the Encyclopedia Britanica, X times more than Intel Xeon, and can address the memory at full speed".
