Is there a 64Bit SQL 2000?

We have SQL 2000 but are getting new 64bit servers, can we upgrade to a 64bit version of SQL 2000 or do we need to go to 2005?

I assume the 32bit SQL 2000 will run on x64 hardware?

Yes there is both a developer and enterprise version for Itanium 64 bit. SQL does support non-64 bit versions in the WOW on 64 bit platforms.

We would still recommend SQL 2005 for its enhanced features.

The upgrade from SQL 2000 32-bit to SQL 2000 64-bit is not supported due to architecture mismatch. And yes, the 32-bit SQL 2000 (and 2005) will run in the WoW layer on x64 machines.

Any ideas where on MSDN I can download the SQL Server 2000 64bit version?

I checked here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa496089.aspx , but there is no download link.

Thanks.
