Fran Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi, first of all I would like to say hello to everyone who visit this thread, and like you're looking amd new here. My question is "what is the difference between 2k and 2k3?" Now I've W2k SP4 on a P3 1Ghz with 256mb and a 30gb hd. Is this enough for 2k3 ? I don't like XP it still to buggie for me. Well, I think its all for now. Thanks =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Yes, I've seen that post before, but my main question is if a p3 will be enough for a w2k3 and if a HUGE difference for a workstation in a 2k from a 2k3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 2k3, has better networking & has theme support + core improvementsu could try nlite'ing it to make it quicker also, if i were u, i wouldnt run it on a p3, unless it was like 1.3Ghz w/ 512MB ram or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what3v3r Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 w2k3 if run as a workstation is basicly win xp with no service pack. =>proper wireless lan support is missing (no wpa) for exampleanother big minus imho is the lack of the fast user switching capability. ( =you have to log out in order for another user to log on )also, some applications (ie. norton antivirus 200x) dont run on w2k3. you need the corporate verson of the software.im sure that there are many slight improvements under the hood, but i dont think youll notice it if you use w2k3 as a workstation.at least the wireless lan support is improved in SP1, but thats still beta.
