I think it will support both.

in 32 bit hardware you will have RAM restriction problems.

check this for more details: [http://blogs.msdn.com/hiltonl/archive/2007/04/13/the-3gb-not-4gb-ram-problem.aspx|http://blogs.msdn.com/hiltonl/archive/2007/04/13/the-3gb-not-4gb-ram-problem.aspx]

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for the prompt reply..

Could you pls let me know any performance issue while using 32 bit processor..?

coz u have mention some RAM restriction problem...

Thanks

In 32 bit Operating System (especially in Windows) any application cannot realize more than 3 GB physical RAM even if you have more RAM installed.

Since SAP PI 7.0 requires lots of memory for performance reasons you have to go ahead with 64 bit hardware and 64 bit Operating System as well.
