q: how to upgrade ms sql server from 32bit to 64bit i have a production server, that is used for ms sql server databases.
the machine specs are:
 - intel xeon e5410 cpu with (em64t)
 - 4 gb ram
 - scsi hdds in raid mode
it currently has:
 - windows server 2003 r2 enterprise edition service pack 2 (32bit)
 - sql server 2005 (9.0.3080) (32 bit) as the default instance.
 - sql server 2008 (10.0.1600) (32 bit) as a named instance sql2008.
i need to upgrade the sql server 2008 instance to 64 bit. 
how do i do this?
i know that the os needs to be 64 bit mode too. can i do a upgrade of windows to windows server 2008 r2 64 bit first or?

a: youll basically need to make a back up of the existing databases, then rebuild the server using windows server 2008 r2 and install sql server 2008 x64.  windows doesnt support changes in the bit-ness of the os when performing an upgrade; no 32 bit upgrades to 64 bit.
