though it <i>should</i> still work, it didn’t. We also had problems with IE and

back to 32-bit. Much better. I don’t think I am comfortable at this point
running everything on 32-bit. Maybe if it was only Office and Windows, but with
any other programs (Shelby, for example) I say a no-go.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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>

<p class="MsoNormal">Whew -- 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>

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>
