649104	2008-03-16 21:52:00	Well Got it installed (www.imagef1.net.nz) and looking like Vista - No audio drivers yet , or security software - Speed wise - yeah its a little faster than a XP Install in the same configeration. Certainly is faster than a "normal" Vista - BUT is it worth the extra $$$$$ Usual OEM of Vista Prem is around $160.00 ( depending on where you get it) and Server 2008 OEM standard is just over $1000.00. So is the differeance of approx $850 worth it . In my opion -- NO :groan: You would be better off installing another Gig of RAm or upgrading the CPU. Mind you I'll trial it for 240 Days.	wainuitech (129)

649111	2008-03-26 01:02:00	Ok... it's been a while since this thread was posted. For those of you who tried the "Workstation 2008" setup, what's your verdict? Aside from the price tag, is it worth it?	somebody (208)
