>Excuse my ignorance but what's that?

You can have the SQL Server 7.0 running in a 6.5 compatibility level. If you have that way, some of the new features of SQL Server 7.0 like the new maximium row size will not work.

See the "sp_dbcmptlevel" in the books-on-line of SQL server 7.0 to know more about this.
