Is it ok to go with a 32-bi Windows 2008 R2 on the server and 32-bit Windows 7 on the client PCs?
There is no such thing as 32 bit Windows Server 2008 R2. It installs
64-bit &
will only run on computers with 64-bit processing power.
The reason is that the vendor for the PC-based EKG system does not recommend 64-bit Windows for their software.
Install 32-bit Windows 7 on the computer with the least RAM/slowest processor. Use the EKG machine on this computer until Welch Allyn software catches up to the rest of the world.
If you have 4 GB of memory or more on the other Windows 7 client PCs, you will
benefit from installing 64-bit Win 7.
