Some of our business processes still use SQL Server 2005 and I need to install Developer Edition on my desktop.
I have following downloads available in my MSDN subscription (other than Itanium):
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - DVD (English) - 1 DVD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 64-bit Extended - 2x CD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 32-bit - 2x CD ISO
The desktop is running 64-bit OS, so I definitely want to install 64-bit version. However, I am not sure what this "Extended" version available on CD-s is. Is this the only 64-bit version in existence? Or are there 2 different 64-bit versions - "Extended" and "Non-Extended" (with non-extended possibly available on DVD - I haven't downloaded any images yet)?
