Maybe this is old news but this is the first time I read it. Windows Server 2008 will only come in 64 bit.

The 2009 release of Windows Server 2008 R2 will be 64-bit only. "Windows Server 2008 will be Microsoft's last 32-bit operating system" said Bill Laing, general manager of the Windows Server division. Microsoft has drawn a line in the sand, and the days of the 32-bit OS are quite definitely numbered.

Not sure what to believe, especially since you can download Windows Server 2008 beta 32bit. I guess only time will tell.
