Totally right Ed, we've got 32bit and 64bit servers and running side by side with no problems. Admittedly, we don't have any 64bit desktops, but I can't see how they'd be different on the network...

I think the issue might be that when we get new PCs, OASAS determines the configuration and then HP, Dell or whoever Ghosts the drives before they are shipped. So this would be another PC he would have to support and he whining about it. Then I was thinking that I'm running MS Office 2000 on my 64 bit Vista laptop that connects without a hitch to my 32 bit wireless router. Is this just smoke and mirros so he doesn't have more work to do? MTIA Ed Edward P.
