Hi Hu,

The Technet website has details of the minimum and recommended system requirements for Windows 2003 Server.

But as a rule, i would go for as fast a processor as you can and as as much RAM as you can afford!

There are limitations on the amount of RAM a Windows 2003 Server version will take, i think the standard version is limited to 4GB...

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I am going to buy intel core 2 duo. Please tell me about the other hardware combination with this.

Hi HU,

It really depends on what you are going to be using the server for?
