Windows Server - Migrate CA from 2003 (i86) box to 2008R2 (x64)

I have seen documents that say migrating from 32 to 64 bit IS possibile
and then i've seen several people say it is not.  Since 2008R2 is
64bit only, how can an orgainization handle upgrading their CA?

I have my CA on a 2003 SP2 box that I need to move to a 2008R2
(understand that the CA name cannot change).  Is there anyway to do
this ?  Thank you in advance !

See if this helps. Although it talks about w2k8 I believe it is almost the
same process for w2k8R2.

office 2007 x64 and x86 odbc Windows Server We are in the process of putting a plan together to upgrade ms office on our TS 2003 Enterprise x64 to Office 2007. The question that I have is MS Office 2007 on an x64 a x64 application or is it x86? The reason I ask is that our database does not have a x64 driver only a x86 driver and if Office is truly x64 than we will not be able to use Excel for example to issue database queries read that MS Office 2007 is really an 32bit application but when installed on a x64 platform installs some x64 based files, is this true.
