Unless you have a compelling reason such as external driver compatibility, I would definitely recommend 64-bit SQL for a highly scaled system.

We are setting up a new beefy SQL database. I've got 32GB's of Ram. Everything I've been reading it looks like 64 bit is the way to go. Anyone have any thoughts on 32 vs 64?

Thanks,
Gates
