You may be a game developer or even a marketing agency looking for a server operating system. Picking the right one for your needs can be difficult. See Also: Windows Dedicated Hosting. As with any Windows Server, Server R2 has certain requirements your hardware must meet to run it. It requires a bit processor because Microsoft discontinued the bit software with the release of this server.

Your processor frequency must be at least 1. We recommend you run it on 2. When it comes to available disk space, the least amount you need to run it is 32 GB. It requires at least a Super VGA by monitor.

The server will run best with an XGA by monitor. It must have more hard disk space and an Intel Itanium 2 processor. The system needs it for dump files, paging, and hibernation. Also, the server you run it on needs to have plenty of available disk space. Before installing this system, we suggest you do a complete backup of all your configuration information for your servers.

Your system should have a bit 1. After I saw the official Microsoft Windows Server hardware requirements I thought Microsoft was crazy because it would work with several generations old hardware and the expectation is that this version would last at least until given a four year per release cadence. Every single table I have found thus far comparing Windows Server versions and their features have a ton of extraneous rows. Many rows essentially say the same thing, that a feature is available across all versions.

I made a small table with only differences to make this a quick view. Throw a 32GB boot drive in my Intel Atom based pfsense appliance and the minimum specifications have been exceeded! I can tell you, Windows Server R2 on the Atom is a painful experience, so go get something faster if you are building a Windows Server machine. Sure, the Windows Server hardware requirement specs say you can do it, but would you really want to? I tried this with the release candidate and reached the same conclusion, spend a few dollars more and do not go Atom with Windows Server Note, I do have a very different opinion on the viability of the Atom platform for things like Linux web servers, but for Server , get something a bit better.

I decided to put together a quick guide in terms of hardware recommendations. Unfortunately, software companies are doing per core and per CPU licensing so adding more slower cores and processors does not mean it is less expensive to do so. One of these days hopefully AMD will get competitive again, but as a note to AMD from a loyal user, you need to get back into the game. Here are my ballpark recommendations:.

Looking at this, there is a huge envelope to push one way or the other in terms of hardware. Some installations will need more or less, but the big theme here is to get hardware that matches the software you are purchasing.

One example might be for a big Essentials installation, the Intel Xeon E is an interesting choice, especially as one can use more than 32GB of RAM as they are limited to with the Xeon E series, but one can just as easily go with two big CPUs.

Then again, it is easy to end up with more CPU and memory than you are going to use given licensing. For those wondering, I did start a building a Microsoft Windows Server thread in the forums so feel free to discuss your build ideas there.

Finally you guys are covering Windows Server Agree there are many variations based on individual needs but at least your specs are a really good minimum requirement for buying new servers for WS Keep the coverage coming.

Hi Guys! Intel Dual Core B 2. I understand this processor is not meant to be used for servers but would it suffice my requirement? That will be no problem for a single user.
