Legacy Context: While this feature still exists in modern SQL Server versions, it laid the groundwork for the modern SQL Database Projects (.sqlproj) used in Visual Studio and Azure Data Studio today. It was a forward-looking feature that changed how DBAs thought about databases—not just as storage, but as application components. For x86 (32-bit): SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
- For x86 (32-bit): SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard on x86 is limited to 64GB of RAM and 4 sockets or 16 cores. This was common for legacy ERP systems (Dynamics GP, NAV) running on older Windows Server 2003/2008 32-bit.
- For x64 (64-bit): This is the preferred modern (relative to 2010) runtime. It offers up to 64GB of RAM for Standard Edition (later increased in SP1/SP2 releases).
- For ia64 (Itanium): Support for Itanium ended with SQL Server 2008 R2. Microsoft never ported SQL Server 2012 or later to Itanium. If you see this ISO, it may be the last available version to recover data from a dead HP Integrity server.
