VS 2005 - 32bit or 64bit?

I have been running 32bit Server 2003 w/Virtual Server 2005 for about a
year, we have 6 new Dell R905's w/4-2ghz quad core AMD's & 32gb RAM that
just came in, will I gain anything by using 64bit W2k3 vs 32bit if they will
all be VM hosts?

thanks for any thoughts, suggestions!

With that server, you'd have full support for Server 2k8 and Hyper-V.
Personally, that would be my choice over VS 2005. But if you're forced on to
Server 2k3, then go 64-bit.

64 bits processor need a 64 bits OS and software to take full advantage of
the hardware architecture.

64 processors can calculate several tasks twice as fast that working on a
32bit environment, besides other advantages. But the key factor is that the
instructions that the processor handles has twice the information that a
32bit instruction.

Are the new servers running a 64-bit OS? If they are, run 64-bit Virtual
Server. If not you still need to run the 32-bit version.
