we killed all our 64-bit servers for TS and went back to 32-bit. Much better. I
don’t think I am comfortable at this point running everything on 32-bit. Maybe

prefer to stay with a system I know can deliver. However maybe as you
experience Server 08 you can share your experiences. I expect they will
be positive. I'm building a system with this capacity because it has
become economically feasible to do so and for a small to medium sized
organization I think this represents best value.<o:p></o:p></p>

-- that's big. Why / what's calling for a TS with these specs?<br>
<br>
Also, have you looked into Server 08? The non-profit licensing for the datacenter
version is like $300 and will allow you to build unlimited (well, limited by
hardware) virtual servers on one CPU (we use quad cores).<br>
<br>
Feel free to talk to us 'cuz we're just moving all our TS's to Server 08 and
have built it all out with all the new features of 08.<br>

[itdiscuss] 64-bit Windows 2003 Terminal Server<br>
<br>
I'm in the process of building a 64-bit Windows 2003 Terminal Server<br>
that will start with 16GB of RAM and 2.5TB of RAID storage.<br>
<br>
Which version of Windows 2003 Server do I need to get so My terminal<br>
server can address all of the memory?<br>
