MSDE 2000 an 64 Bit CPU?

Does it make sense to use a 64 bit CPU with MSDE 2000? Or better: does MSDE
user it? I can′t find any hints.

actually it does not make sense... MSDE can use up to 2GB of ram, 2 CPUs and
a database size limit of 2GB (per database data file)... so having a 64bit
CPU in order to address more memory is non sense..
anyway, I never tried, but it should run in WOW on 64bit OS...

system, so i would check it out befor changing, but the question is:
is MSDE using 64 bit or not?

if the question is "can MSDE run on 64bit CPU" I do think yes, in Window On
Window...
if, on the contrary, the question is "using" it, MSDE is a 32 bit
application..

I have to make it faster, and that was an idea.
