Should I run 64bit version of Win. Server?

by sostermann . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

We just purchased a new Dell PowerEdge server with Dual 2.8GHz Xeon Processors. We ordered Server 2003 through volume licesing which came with both the 32bit and 64bit versions of the OS.

I have no experience running any 64bit software as of yet and was originally planning on using the 32bit version. Since I have the option now, my question is:

Is there any reason not to run the 64bit version?

The server will be the DC and, most likely, will never run any software outside of the server services included with the installation.

Thank you for any insight.
