Now that's an interesting idea... Load Enterprise Ed of Win2k3 to take
advantage of all the RAM while still being able to have the full experience
of sound, preferred apps, video preferences, etc.
So, I'd loose the x64 environment, but keep all the goodies while still
using Virtual Server the way I want to. Plus have the benefits of having
"Server" running. Hmmm. Not bad.
So the question now becomes, "how much faster is x64 than x32?"
Anyone?
