When I run select @@version
I get the following: I think Intel X86 means i am running the 32 bit version - but then I also see the X64 at the end....

SQL Server Management Studio is a 32-bit application - and therefore requires the 32-bit version of the drivers for Office based applications.
Method 1: Connect to the server by using Object Explorer in SQL Server Management Studio. After Object Explorer is connected, it will show the version information in parentheses, together with the user name that is used to connect to the specific instance of SQL Server.
I'm getting:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3128.0 (X64)
So yes - X86
means 32-bit, and in my case, X64
stands for 64 bit
and exec master.dbo.xp_msver
returns:
4 Platform NULL NT x64
Again - x64
= 64-bit, while yours says X86
= 32-bit
This: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (Intel X86)
means you're running the 32-bit (X86) version.
