Hi,
We installed sql 2005 64-bit enterprise on intel quad-core xeons with win2k3
Std 64-bit. When I checked the properties of the SQL server, it showed the
platform as NT AMD64.

Have we done something wrong or is that normal. Will it affect the the
server in any way and how can we change that property. Thank you

Regards,

Francis

As x64 processor architecture first developed by AMD, that's why it shows
like that and there's nothing wrong with that (technically at least) and
there's nothing to change.
