The client side can be either 32 or 64 bit - makes no difference.

The internal datatypes used by the 32 and 64 bit Sybase *server* are
all the same - the only real advantage of the 64bit version of the
server is larger address space - the 2 or 4 GB limit of most 32bit
OSes is starting to be a real limitation for many servers.
