    Hello,

    Why would you want to use Adobe products on a Windows server software product? it is not supported, you can get better performance on Vista or XP as these are supported.

    Hi Leo,

    WIN 2003 server executes WIN XP programs without any issues. (I have found no exceptions to this statement as of yet.) Server 2003 32-bit, with the PAE enabled, will allow for 4+GB of RAM.

    So, with this OS, you get a 32-bit operating system (what PP SC3 was designed for) and you can install more than 4GB of RAM.

    For longform editing, this is impressive. 6GB of RAM for editing, phew… nice.

    Vista 32-bit still has the 4GB limit on RAM. Vista 64-bit does allow for larger amounts of RAM, but is not completely supported in many of the SC3 applications.

    I had asking if others had used WIN 2003 server as it seemed a logical choice for mission critical editing (long form with heavy effects.) I also wanted to know what to expect if I went this route.
