I am considering building a new computer and using the one I have now for a server. I was wondering if I should build the new computer on a 64-bit platform or a 32-bit platform. Anyone have any recommendations on the new system build. I am interested in the 64-bit platform so that the computer will last some time into the future. However, I have read many articles about driver issues even though the 64-bit os is suppose to be backwards compatable with 32 bit applications and hardware.
Or 64 bit system running Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS?
Also of concern is me being able to use my new 64-bit workstation with a 32-bit server? Is this going to work, is this a compatable situation.
Any and all help in this area will be greatly appreciated.
