I am ready to begin installing 64 bit sql 2005 on 64 bit windows 2003 enterprise edition. When that is completed, I will need to connect Windows XP clients to that server via ODBC.
Will I have to use the 64 bit SQL 2005 odbc drivers or will 32 bit suffice?
Thanks.

I am assuming you are referencing the client machines. In that case you can use whatever is appropriate for the client and the application.. A 64-bit server does not require all clients to be 64-bit. Also, I'm not entirely sure about 64-bit ODBC driver availability..
As an aside, I would STRONGLY recommend moving from ODBC.

Thanks. I agree about the ODBC but we are running a legacy app on that server. Before I retire I may see a replacement for it.
