2k3 has better memory management then xp


Really only when you're talking about memory in the >2GB range.

XP handles up to 2GB of RAM quite well, it's only above that threshold that 2K3 has an advantage.

There are so many unneeded services running with a server OS that most end users are only going to end up creating another unintentional zombie system for the script kiddies to co-opt and that isn't such a good thing for the Internet community as a whole, is it?

Granted, 2K3 is *more* secure out of the box than 2K, but there are still gaping holes that can be exploited by any dipstick that probes the system in question.

Regards,

Randy

There's really nothing in Server 2K3 that isn't available in XP, as far as an end user would need.

My question would be, why do you feel the need to run an Enterprise-level server operating system?

From the screenshots it looks almost exactly the same but i was wondering if it can run standard windows problems like internet explorer or nero etc.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7785348 Mon, 25 Aug 2003 23:32:52 EDT
