I need to buy a server, processor Intel Xeon E3-1230 or above. My company prefers to run windows server 2008 32 bit OS on the server. OEM like Dell claimed that, Intel no longer supports 32 bit OS in servers. They explain tat Sandy Bridge processors are 64 bit and they can run only 64bit OS and downgrading to win server 2008 32 bit is not possible. I already gave all compliance for this Dell T320 to my boss, and now i hear such explanations from Dell. Please clarify me on this.
Thanks.
