We're upgrading to SQL Server 2005 and when the Network Administrator asked us if we wanted 64bit editions of windows and SQL Server 2005 versus the 32bit versions, and there was no price difference we said sure.



However, I stumbled across an article that makes me wonder if that was a smart idea. Should I be worried? or does the 64bit edition of SQL Server just utilize the 64bit architecure for better performance while everything else (databases, stored procedures, views, etc) stay the same?
