x64 vs x32 on the host OS

Source: microsoft.public.virtualserver

Message:

I am planning to configure a High Availablitiy system by using several VMs
via Virtual Server. If I have 2 AMD x64 1 cpu servers, which at the moment
don't have an OS, which host OS should I purchase in order to run 2 VMs on
each? I'm thinking the host os would not run any apps other than the VMs.
Would x64 gives me performance or licensing advantages, etc. or just the
disadvantage of costing more?

Host os choices (Retail);
a. Windows Server Standard 2003 R2 64Bit 10 Client
b. Windows Server Standard 2003 64Bit 10 Client
c. Windows Server Standard 2003 R2 32Bit 5 Client
d. Windows Server Standard 2003 32Bit 5 Client

x64 should give you a performance advantage, neither will give you a
licensing advantage. If you want to compare licensing you need to
compare Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Windows Server 2003 R2
Standard (either x86 or x64). R2 Enterprise Edition gives you an
additional 4 licenses for your virtual machines while R2 Standard
Edition gives you none.
