Benchmarking Tools

Hello
Does anyone know of any benchmarking tools to perform load testing and
performance benchmarking on SQL 2005 and SQL 2000 on 32-bit and
64-bit?
I was looking at Benchmark Factory from Quest Software but it does not
seem to work with 64-bit.
Thanks

You should verify with Quest to determine whether that's the case. My
understanding is that it's a client app, and you don't have to run it on the
server itself (shouldn't run it on server as a matter of fact). You can
always run it on a 32-bit machine adn access a remote SQL instance. So I'd be
surprised if it doesn't work with an x64 SQL2005 instance.
