The answer to this question depends on whether you have a dual-server TFS install, or a single-server TFS insall. If you have a single-server TFS install, you must use a 32-bit operating system. If you have a dual-server TFS install, some parts of TFS can be installed on a 64-bit operating system: * The data tier fully supports 64-bit. You can use a 64-bit edition of SQL Server to host the TFS databases. * The build server and Visual Studio 2005 can run fine under the WOW64 emulation layer on any 64-bit edition of Windows. * The application tier must be installed on a 32-bit edition of Windows. * The Team Proxy must be installed on a 32-bit edition of Windows. I imagine TFS will be more fully 64-bit in the next release. But for now, at least you can take full advantage of a 64-bit operating system for the database portion of TFS.See less »
