quick query

bobthefish · 06-21-2008, 07:43 AM

as the title suggests this is just a quick question,

windows server 2003 enterprise edition, does it just come in 64bit the reason why i ask is because my mate said i should use it instead of vista 64bit and just re enable the directx service. when searching for windows server 2003 enterprise 64 bit i cant find anything.

thanks for your time.

Just out of curiosity why are looking to use a server platform instead of Vista which you would nortmally use on a client or workstation computer?

because i have 4gb of ram and windows xp doesnt recognize it all plus with have 1gig of video memory it seems to cause problems with the entire setup under a 32bit OS vista 64 bit works okies, i just hate it, its been annoying me soo much, and it doesnt support my tv card either,

my mate runs server 03 on his computer instead of xp 64 or vista 64 and sdays it runs a dream... i wanna give it a try basically

Fair enough there. I would be interested to see how this goes. If you do go with the server install could you write a post just to say if it works well?
Cheers

Matt.
