[HELP] The right version

Hi Everyone !
I need an advice :
i have a Intel Xeon 2,8 Ghz with 4 Gb RAM.
I would like to install the 64-bit version of SQL Server 2000.
Which Windows server do i need ?
Windows 2000 Advanced server is enough ?
or Windows 2003 server ?
I'm confused because the only 64-bit Windows 2003 server available is the
one optimized for Itanium processors... thank you You have a 32-bit machine. You can only install 32-bit operating systems
and applications on the machine you described.

Why? You need 64-bit hardware (e.g. Itanium processors!) to run 64-bit
software (!).
