The answer is yes.
(a) There are two flavours of 64-bit - AMD64 or X64, and IA64.
Windows 64-bit installs on both architectures.
(b) There is no 64-bit version of VS. Visual Studio 2005 is available only as a 32-bit app.
However, you CAN install VS on a 64-bit OS and use it to create, launch and debug 64-bit apps.
(c) VS will install only on X64.
The .Net Framework and the Debugger components install on IA64, allowing you to remotely
launch and debug applications on IA64 from a VS IDE installed on another machine.
(d) VS installed on either 32-bit or 64-bit OS can create 32-bit or 64-bit applications,
but of course the applications need the corresponding platform to execute.
(e) You need the Professional or Team System versions to build X64 (AMD64) apps.
(f) You need Team System to build IA64 apps. Pro does not support this.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
If I install the 64 bit version will I still be able to develop 32 bit asp .net apps? I ask
because my development machine is 64 bit whereas my host is 32.
