W2K8 R2 Server is 64-bit Only...
FYI, all editions of the next release of Windows Server are x64/ia64 processor architecture only; there are no more x86 Windows Server builds beyond Server 2008. You will, however, be able to run your x86 binaries on Windows Server. 32-bit binaries will be dependent upon the "WoW-64" emulation layer (actually just a thin thunking layer on x64, and a full instruction set emulation layer on ia64). Software Developers will need to ensure their applications are thus compatible with x64 Windows. It's a good idea to learn more about the potentially complex issues associated with running x86 or mixed x86-x64 based binaries on Windows Server.
Fortunately, it's a rather mature topic as x64 Windows Server editions have been available for many years now. Here is an excellent online resource that will suffice to answer most of your questions.
