Is SQL 2000 32 bit supported

Hello All,

I need to know if SQL 2000 32 bit is supported on a Windows 2003 64 bit on a x86 processor server. The server is clustered.

I wasn't aware you can install 64bit OS on an x86 machine, that just doesn't sound right.

Regardless, SQL 2000 (32-bit) cannot be installed on 64-bit OS. However SQL 2005 (32-bit) is allowed to be installed on 64-bit OS. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

SQL 2000 (32-bit) cannot be installed on a 64-bit machine, but SQL 2000 64-bit can. With SQL 2005, both 32-bit and 64-bit can be installed on a 64-bit machine.

Thanks,
