Ok, thanks for your input, it's certainly refreshing -- I seem to have this magical ability of asking unanswerable ( and no, they're not stupid ) questions over at vbulletin.org  ;D

"it will run" That sounds like there's problems associated with it...

Thanks in advance More data Win2003 Server R2, Dual-Core Xeon@3.2Ghz x 4, 16GB Ram - this is why I'm wanting to use 64bit MySQL  ;D or am I wasting my time?
