| I have just purchased a laptop that runs Vista Business (a 32-bit operating system). I am installing Sql Server 2005 and the first thing that I've noticed on the setup disc is that there are three folders that I can install from:1) SQL Server Itanium2) SQL Server X643) SQL Server X32My question is, which of the versions should I install? Since it's obvious that these different versions are binaries compiled to a specific chip set (I've already assumed that I can eliminate the X64 setup...), which of these setups is best for Windows Vista? |

| X32 is your most likely choice.Last time I checked, there weren't many IA64 (Itanium) laptops around. :) |

if there were, you'd have to wear flame retardant clothes when using it...
