Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) offers significantly improved memory availability and parallel processing performance compared to the 32-bit version. It is optimized for 64-bit processors like Itanium 2, AMD Opteron, and Intel Xeon. The 64-bit architecture allows for a larger addressable memory space, enhanced parallelism up to 64 processors, and faster data movement. These advantages enable SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) to handle more complex workloads, consolidate databases, and scale processing demands better than the 32-bit version. The document discusses considerations for choosing the 64-bit version and deployment best practices.
