Robert, Have you done any timing testing for large data sets? Any "gut feelings" for speed differences? Did you have to purchase a different version of SQL Server or does the 64 bit come with the 32 bit and "just start working"? Or did you get brand new machines with preinstalled software? John W.

Nothing special was involved. We are using a Dell dual/dual core processor machine with 8gb of ram. Since it is the primary SQL server, no other software is running on it.
