Ok but.. that OS is for servers... I don't think many people use that type of OS for gaming.

There are no problem at all using Windows 2003 for gaming... I've played a lot of games on 2003 server and I've recently had many good games of RoF on a Windwos 2008R2 Server (64-bit though as there are no 32-bit editions of 2008R2). Naturally my prime gaming rig is a window 7 64-bit but now we are discussing theory here

Interesting. I'll have to educate myself on this operating system. Does this OS require a specific CPU or MoBo or special kind of RAM to use more than 3.5 gb?
