You may experience slow performance when you run 32-bit SQL Server tools on 64-bit operating systems

Summary

When you install 64-bit editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the following 32-bit versions of the following tools are installed:
  • SQL Server Management Studio
  • SQL Server Configuration Manager
  • Database Engine Tuning Advisor
When you run these tools on 64-bit operating systems, the tools run in the Windows on Windows (WOW) environment. Under certain conditions, you may experience slow performance when you run these tools.

To improve performance, run these 32-bit tools on a computer that is running a 32-bit operating system. Then, connect to a 64-bit server that is running SQL Server.
