64-bit MSDE?

I've seen references in Microsoft online material to a 64-bit
edition of MSDE - the description of Windows XP 64-bit
Edition Version 2003 refers to it, for example. However,
I haven't been able to find any more information about the
existence, if any, and availability of 64-bit MSDE. I'm
specifically intererested in determining whether it's
available for the server operating system editions .
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

AFAIK, only the Enterprise Edition is available in the 64bit flavour..

Andrea,
Many thanks for your quick response. I accept what you say, but I
remain confused by the statement - admittedly a year old - in
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/6...uation/faq.asp
where the answer to "What's New In Windows XP 64-Bit Edition
Version 2003" includes the line "Microsoft SQL Server Desktop
Engine (MSDE)".

as IIS 6.0, I think that MSDE 2000 will be (or is) provided in the 32bit
flavour =:-)
