andeelym Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Am thinking of building a dual quad core xeon with 8GB ram. But the w2k3 standard supports up to 4GB ram. I wanted to use 8GB ram for the machine. Do I have to get a enterprise edition of windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbiloh Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yup, Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andeelym Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I noticed that the 2003 x64 edition allows up to 32GB of ram. Can I use that instead? And will it being 64bit have any negative impact on the game servers and such? Thanks for any inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I am running 64 bit on many of my servers with no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andeelym Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks for the reassurance. Cos running x64 edition will definitely bring down the TCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 But you mileage may very depending on the games you are hosting. But so far none that I run have had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
