Adam,

Just to clarify - 64-bit EDB isn't available just yet.

<< 1. Can I run 64bit EDBServer on an unmodified database to serve up data?
Can it serve data to any machine? >>

Yes.

<< 2. How about running 64bit EDBServer on Amazon, while the customer's
server is 32bit (they share a database, copying it between them, not
actually sharing files). >>

Sure, no problem.

<< 3. Say I have 2 EDBServer instances 1 64bit & 1 32bit both accessing the
same DB, but serving it up to different apps?  >>

Yep.

<< 3. My customers mix client machines from Windows XP - Win 7 Pro as an OS.
I can't control this. At present I tend to  install a single EXE file on the
server & all clients share it (running locally, but accessing data via IP
from the server). Will I be able to install 2 versions of the EXE (64bit &
32 bit) & just run these against the server, pointing the old machines to
the 32 bit with the new ones pointing at the 64 bit? >>

Yes.

<< 4. I am guessing that I will now have to maintain 2 versions of my
source, 1 with 32 bit components & 1 with 64 bit ... or at least 1 version
to compile to 64 the other to 32 ... any useful comments on how to do this??
>>

I doubt very much if you would need to versions of your source code.  About
the only time this would be necessary is if you're doing things that rely on
the size of a pointer being specifically 32-bit or 64-bit, such as when
casting an Integer to a Pointer, and vice-versa.
