I would say that you might get more responses by posting into the Microsoft or Vista portion of these forums..

This particular forum is for HPUX.

IA64bit refers to Itanium processor.
Can you be more specific on what your quad computer model is?

Unless you are running an Itanium server or workstation, I strongly believe you should use the 64bits sql.

Based on your answer I would suspect that you do not have and HP Itanium workstation or server. So do not use the IA64bit version.

Hi,
Please use 64bits sql option.
IA64bit refers to Itanium processor.

***Mean you have to install ""other says just:64bits sql""
Beacause you have 64 bit Vista.

First one is for Itanium based servers.
