  2003 R2 is old as dirt?

Well, 2003 R2 is just old-as-the-hills. 2003 original is old-as-dirt.

I just retired my final 2000 server at my current clients, two weeks ago. We 
still have about a dozen Win 2000 Workstations alive and kicking because of 
crappy DICOM software and a cheap customer.

They are primordial. :-)

2003 Enterprise R2 RAM

2010-08-20 Thread Andy Shook
Ok, got a situation where customer needs 2003 server, what the heck-fire is 
64GB of RAM partially supported via the M$FT technet matrix.
http://www.microsoft.com/hk/server/windowsserver2003/evaluation/features/default.mspx

Either its supported or it ain't.


TVK is a hoser...

Looks like it's 32GB in 32-Bit Windows, and 64GB in 64-Bit Windows.

It means that the applications have to be written a particular way on that 
old-as-dirt OS, in order to use memory above 4 GB.

You've been hosed off, she said.

It means it's only supported by the 64-bit version of the OS...

It's better to be the hoser than the hosee I always say. ;-)

Nope, this time you are a hoser. ;-)

You can run large memory deployments of Exchange 2003 x86.
