OWA on x64 Edition

Due to a major hardware failure, I was forced to reload my main server.
While doing so, I upgraded to x64 Edition as I am running it on 64bit
hardware. I have my exchange server running on a different server but would
like to setup OWA to go through the server running x64 Edition as this is my
primary IIS server.

Is this possible?

Will I need to wait for Exchange 2007? If so, when is the public Beta 2
scheduled to be released?

Yes, you'll have to wait for Exchange Server 2007 - Exchange Server 2003
will not work and isn't supported on x64 versions of Windows Server.

Beta2 will still be a beta - shouldn't generally be installed in production
environments.

Why not simply reinstall x86 OS?
