I need win2k server...or is XP better?Give me advice and can some one help me out with a copy? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If you need a server Win2K is it for the time being, Windows.NET is still in Beta 2 last I checked.

sorry, I have no idea :(

Win XP home (32 bit) Win XP Pro (64 bit) is windows NT, Win2000 is based

on Windows NT also..all of them , you can use the NTFS format ---ie,,--NT

I use XP home and it works great,,but then again i'm a pentium 4, 1.7 gig

with 256mb of DDR ram.a bus speed of 266 mhz,40 gig WD 7200rpm HD

etc,etc..i like XP,,over ME and win2000

Yeah what do you think of XP pro compared to Win2k?

Im gonan use it for a online game server (UO) untill I get a large player base..then pay for a dedicated server...

Yeah Win2k is what I want for a server...BUT someone told me XP pro is better..and newer..and he will send it to me ..BUT not sure if this is what I really want..but hey for free...its all good...



But will I really need win2k?

i run xp pro and like it 2000 is good but xp is better esp. if its free. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/mellow.png

XP Pro is NOT 64 bit unless you're running an Itanium processor.



To run a dedicated UO server? Dunno hard question, Pro would probably do OK. Pro is throttled as far as network bandwidth goes but that shouldn't be an issue till later



The last UO server I was toying with was a mem hog.

A friend told me Win XP takes alot of ram..and yes Im gonan run a UO shard just till i get about 30 people online @ all times..or till I cant hold no more..then I will get a dedicated server..



The emulator is made by Sphere...

Not familiar with that one but I've not toyed with any of them for a long long long time.



Still play UO once in a blue moon tho.
