Admin-Nation-Servers Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 What OS do you guys recommend EX: For 2003 OS Enterprise b/c->Cost effective etc. For 2008 Standard b/c-> Looks nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjdaley Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 2008 for stability, quickness, features, robustness, HPET, 1000fps, etc... I think the benifits of 2008 will out weigh 2003 anyday. You only need the enterprise versions if you are going to be using like 1TB of ram, or clustering, other than that it is wasting your money.

Dan M Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 i use Window 2K8 enteprise and standard. Its free if your a college or university student or a teacher. Is that for hosting gameservers? I'm pretty sure that isn't allowed in a commercial environment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjdaley Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 nope, if you look at the agreement you clicked when installing, the Windows XP/Vista/2008/Office 2007 must be UNINSTALLED when you are DONE with school. That is in the license agreement :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebgames Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Depends on the college. The college my wife went to allowed you to keep using the software as long as you graduated from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjdaley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It isn't up to the college, its up to Microsoft. All EDUCATIONAL licenses must be removed from your machine after school. If she had an open license provided through the school, then that is different. I highly doubt that they gave her a open license on a personal computer, that would be illegal.
