Default Mix of 32 and 64 bit Informix modules

I purchased a Series EM64T from a software vendor who is aso an IBM
dealer.

Unbeknown to me, they put the 32 bit O/S on it. It turns out the
application software is 32 bit and they had probs.... whtever.

As I believed I had a 64 bit O/S I installed some Informix software. It
was when testing this that I discovered I only had a 32 bit O/S.

What are my sensible options?

If I keep it as it and replace my 64 bit Informix software will I be I
the position of not utilising the hardware?

Are there any other probs I may have with a 32 bit O/S running n a 64
bit machine? Currently I have Informix SE (32 bit) Informix SQL (64
bit) and Informix ESQL (32 bit). It was ISQL that failed of course.

If I send the machine back to have the O/S reinstalled (64 bit) what
are the problems I could run in to?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kate

"will I be I the position of not utilising the hardware? "

Depends. Do you have more than 4Gb of physical memory that Informix
could use?

"If I send the machine back to have the O/S reinstalled (64 bit) what
are the problems I could run in to? "

That they screw up the install?
