Trang 1Note that management tools such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and Business Intelligence Developer Studio (BIDS) are supported in WOW64,
a feature of 64-bit editions of Windows that enables 32-bit applications to run natively in 32-bit mode Applications function in 32-bit mode, even though the underlying operating system is running on the 64-bit operating system
In determining which edition of SQL Server 2008 to install and use, understand-ing hardware requirements from existunderstand-ing or new servers is critical (see Table 2.5)

Table 2.5 SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition Hardware Requirements
Trang 2The Standard Edition supports a maximum of four CPUs for both the 32-bit
and 64-bit hardware (see Table 2.6) The CPU maximum of four is one of the key
hardware limitations of the Standard Edition compared with the Enterprise Edition
in the areas of scalability and high availability Table 2.7 lists the hardware

Operating System Requirements
The operating system minimum requirements for a SQL Server 2008 upgrade
or installation is dependent on the hardware, as well as on which version of SQL Server 2008 is being installed Table 2.9 shows most of the operating system options for the Enterprise and Standard Editions of SQL Server 2008
