"I have an evaluation version of W2K server (full, legal, from Microsoft office), but I don't use it in any network application yet, so it is supposed to work as a W2K Pro" Q: Is it possible (or advantageous) to use win2k server as opposed to pro? If I do use server will I see a decline in performance? That is what I have. I can get pro instead but since I already own a legal copy of server i would like to just use this. A: Server edition has many advantages: 1.) Fault Tolerance RAID 0,1, and 5 2.) Services that can be enabled or disabled 3.) NTFS and Active Directories 4.) Multiple swap partitions 5.) Unlimited incoming users The Server Edition and Professional are similar except for the services and fault tolerance. Performance depends on how your configure the server software. I have my setup set to performance boost instead of services. I placed the boot/system partition on its own drive. The second hard drive has the data and swap partition. I am considering an ATA66 hard drive to isolate the swap files on a separate channel. Performance would depend on how good your other components are. You need to make sure all hardware is Win2K Server HAL-list compliant. All your software must be for Win2K. Do not use WinNT Legacy drivers. from Windows NT & 2000 Forum 216.242.22.13\|AMP\|+2000+Forum&number=4&DaysPrune=30&LastLogin=
