32-bit versus 64-bit? Standard versus Enterprise?

[jminiman]

Hey all,

Been using Vista SP1 Business for awhile now and plan to take the plunge and go for Server 2008 of some flavor. I have 4 GB of RAM and a pretty modern Core 2 Duo processor.

Questions:
1. Why would I want to use 32-bit and not 64-bit Server aside from driver incompatibilities? Is there a tool that magically scans my system for drivers that don’t exist in the 64-bit world?
2. Why would I pick Enterprise over Standard if neither edition costs me anything (MSDN Universal)?

Thanks for your help in advance!
