Has anyone used this for gaming and what are your thoughts?
My situation. I had Windows XP Pro (32 bit) and I moved to Windows XP 64 bit edition and I love the 64 bit version! No issues at all. Seems to be snappier, but I don't have the number to back up such a claim.
I have read that Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP 64 bit edition are quite similar.
I am currently using the trial version of Windows XP 64 bit edition and will need to purchase a legit version soon. I'd rather upgrade to a current edition, as XP 64 bit is somewhat old.
So that is why I ask if Windows 2008 Server is good for gaming and stability.
Don't want to go Vista, want to keep it lean and mean.
I get a substantial educational discount for MS products, but I can only buy one operating system.
I know I can trial out Server 2008 prior to purchase, but wanted some opinions first.
