>>I want to upgrade to Visual Studio 2013. Which one is the best: Visual Studio Professional 2013 or Visual Studio Ultimate 2013? I also understand there is no x64 version for that one. Is that correct?
Not questioning what you say other than to seek information on my understanding of what a 64bit program implies :
If you have a box with 16gb of RAM why wouldn't a 64bit version of VS use more of that RAM and less disk IO? Or are you saying this is an OS issue (the addressing of RAM beyound 3gb) and is not dependant on the program itself having a 64 bit address space?
If the latter, then 64bit SQL Server would be different because it is, in fact, a server and therefore is more like (part of) the OS in this regard?

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
