You can install x86 MSSQL2000 on x64 OS.
Don't forget to upgrate it to SP4

yes you can run mssql 2000 in a x64 system... Look carefully at what it tells you... something about the folder x86, youll find the installer for x64 systems there.

SQL 2000 works in 32-bit or 64-bit, idk why he said that it doesnt work on 64-bit... WHen its 64-bit it gives you instructions on how to install it.. its not the same as in 32-bit systems, but u can still install MSSQL2000 in a 64-bit OS
