Of course there are other hardware requirements for Server 2012, but it’s important to remember the Windows Server 2012 requires a 1.4 GHz 64-bit processor. Questions to mention a 32-bit processor are easy to throw out.

Doesn’t 2008 R2 already require a 64bit CPU?

You are 100% correct but I guess in this scenario the wording indicates that all servers on the network have 2008R2 installed and there are other servers with 32 bit CPUs not yet on the network

If this is the case then given answer is correct as they wish to use all the servers for 2012
