Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition (32 Bit)

Hi,

What does 'R2' Means in "Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition (32 Bit)".

Actually I need to upgrade my 'windows 2003 standard edition 32 bit' to 'enterprise edition 32 bit with SP2' on Proliant DL380 machine.
Can I go for the above mentioned version (Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition (32 Bit) or I should go for 'windows Server 2003 Enterprise x32 Edition with SP1 (32 Bit) and install SP2 seperatly.

Thanks in advance
Gab

Shortly, it has new features like mmc 3.0, new storage quotas management,....

sp2 and R2 are separately installation - you can install sp2 without R2.
