We've been running 32-bit versions of PostgreSQL for Windows on
Windows Server 2008 64-bit since 2009 without problems. You don't
need to install the 64-bit version of PostgreSQL on Server 2008, the
32-bit version does not require it and as far as I know does not get
any benefit by having it installed - they use separate registry
settings, separate binaries, etc...
