Server 2003 is a great OS, my second favourite after XP X64.
Expensive, though.

I was smart though, I got it will I was at school and was able to get it through that academic discount they had- I recall at the time XP pro was 12 dollars after the discount...

    but lets just say that if you get Windows ME, then your instantly screwed. its probably the least stable OS ever..

    but yea 2003 is great and very powerful OS but its probably for more advanced users, since it was designed as a Server OS, and not a personal OS. Windows 2K, XP Pro and XP 64 are my favs.

      such a great OS. an even better when you get to the Admin Tools  ;D
      but it stinks that it doesnt include Windows Movie Maker, but of course its a buisness oriented OS. as seen here

        it wont i've tried the XP version and it said "Can only be installed on Windows XP"
        and the ME version isnt available for download unless you own Windows ME.

        When you upgrade to 2003, make sure you get the enterprise edition, not the standard edition..... :P
        Costs twice as much as standard (around $1800), but allows you more memory. :)

        computeruler - you're getting 2GB of RAM and 1GB of VRAM.
        The cap is 4GB, so you won't see more than just under 3GB of RAM.
        Did you read anything of the discussion above, by the way?
        PAE doesn't work like that in XP.
