CFMX 8.01 Enterprise with 64-bit Opteron on Win 64-bit

[Superflair]

We have to buy a new web server and I was looking at a Dell machine with 2x 64-bit Opteron processors.

As of today, will CFMX 8.01 Enterprise works in 64-bit with these processors ? The OS will either be Windows Server 2003 64-bit OR Windows Server 2008 64-bit edition... that ain't gonna be a UNIX or Linux machine.

One of our main web sites is doing a lot of computation and data analysis so I know for sure that running in native 64-bit should increase our performance by about 15% just for that (instead of 32-bit).

I've read in (a few months old) posts that the JVM on windows runs, or is supported, in 32-bit only ? Is that still true considering that CFMX 8.01 Enterprise is supposed to be fully 64-bit ? On the CFMX product sheet they talks about Intel 64-bit chipsets... no words about AMD Opteron 64-bit.

Many thanks !

Patrick,

This should help:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/64_bit.html

And Enterprise should run on those operating systems.

Patrick, did it finally work ?, I having problems getting the IIS to recognize the *.cfm file extentions, I've looked into the add it to the "Handlers" but not sure where to map the path and to what extension... (jrun.dll, jrun.exe, ?????)
