Installation on 64-bit Server Operating Systems
Microsoft provides 64-bit versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system for both workstation and server computers. A 64-bit system requires special design considerations that differ from the 32-bit operating system design. This includes considerations for firmware, hard disk partitions, and device drivers.
For more information about 64-bit versions of the Microsoft Windows Server® 2003 operating system, visit the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=73902). For more information about the Microsoft Windows Server® XP Professional x64 Edition operating system, visit the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=73901).
Team Foundation Server supports running the Team Foundation data-tier and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Team Foundation Server requires that the application tier run in a native 32-bit environment. The application tier does not support WOW64 or native modes. The following table shows the components you can install on specific 64-bit operating systems.
