This is not a bug.  A more appropriate list for this question would
have been pgsql-general.

I'm not sure what "server 2008" is, but if it's some form of
Windows, version 8.4 should support X32.  I think you need version
9.0 (or the upcoming 9.1 release) to support Windows X64.

A 32-bit Pg will run fine on 64-bit windows.

That said, a native PostgreSQL 9.0 x64 build is available, and I'd
consider using that on a new Win2k8 install instead.o

As Kevin said, this isn't a bug. Please follow the guidelines on the bug
report form and use the mailing list instead.

(Hmm, maybe we should link to the Nabble forum gateway for -general on
the bug report page?)
