Windows 2003 + SETI

[Neurodog]

Has anyone tried or is running seti with windows 2003?

I'm just wondering if it's crunching any faster?

Thanks

I had a beta version running for a while. I did not notice a difference.

Do you mean longhorn? ( I think that's what they're calling it now )

Nope.

Windows 2003. Its mainly for servers.

2003 is basically a cut down XP with a few added server features (more connections possible, AD etc).

It should peform almost identically to a Windows XP machine of the same spec.

I've got it on a laptop @ home. Compared to XP/2K I don't notice a big difference one way or the other.

I had it running on my XP1800+ at home with 512 PC2100. Virtually no difference between 2003 and 2000 server. There might be a fraction of an improvement considering a lot of services are shut off on 2003 by default. But no ground-breaking improvements. Spend the money that you would pay for 2K3 on more hardware 🙂

Spend money on Windows 2003...? That concept seems foreign to many members around here. 😉

Needless to say, that's why I'm still running Windows XP, rather than "upgrading" to the "latest and greatest." 🙂

You should do like I did and join a local Microsoft user group. At last month's meeting they had a drawing and were giving away a few copies of Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition(scalable to 8-way CPU) with 25 users! :Q I happened to be one of the lucky ones! 😀

It's an NFR but not crippled in any way. I had to do a registration process, so the product is tied to my ID(so no sell or copy), but what the hey - now I've got a nifty legal server license to play with for the domain at home. 😎

As for speed, I've got it running on an XP2500+ with 512meg DDR and haven't noticed any speed difference as compared to a similar system running Win2K Pro.

I'm testing/learning a 2k3 enterprise server 120day eval right now, and its running slower than when I had win98 on it.
