Daredevil Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 As a bit of a follow up to my post in the hardware section about server hardware I thought I should probably ask this as well. Looks like it's almost certain that we're going with Windows 2003 Server as we need to plan three years down the track but I'm currently a little confused. My current understanding is there's the normal 32bit version of 2003 Server, and a 64bit version written specifically for the Itanium2 (IA64) line of processors. Another 64bit version is in the works for the AMD64 line which was due out 2H 2004 but has been delayed again.Is my understanding correct? And should I bother with 64bit? Is it worth more than just geek karma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 32 bit will be with us for an awful long time yet.The continuing delays and the cost of 64 bit hardware illustrate that the development is not an easy matter.What are the advantages of 64 bit? Will it improve your computing experience (what an awful Americanism) sufficiently to justify the added expenditure?Why are the hardware manufacturers contuining to develop ever faster 32 bit items and are not concentrating all their efforts into 64 bit?Save yourself a few $$$ or £££ or €€€ and stick with the devil we are familiar with.Note the questions above are rhetorical - I don't need an answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I've just read a review of Frontpage 2003, the relevance being that they canned it because it only works with Windows 2003 Server ( as well as being about half as good as Dreamweaver) and 70% of the market use Apache server.
