[dba-Tech] Windows Small Business Server

Hi John

Not an answer, sorry, but I'm getting close to doing something similar
myself so I'm interested.  What exactly is it you're trying to do when you
say "the driver disk checks for a version"?  Is this an SBS upgrade, or
what?

John

I want to run Small Business Server.  I have a set of computers which I
built myself, but they only run Windows XP (home or professional) for the
simple reason that the driver disk checks for a version and refuses to allow
me to load the drivers for anything else.

I would like to buy a new MB and an AMD X2 processor but I am hesitant to do
so because I can't seem to determine whether a given MB will run SBS.  Does
anyone have any advice on this issue.  Anyone running a quality MB with an
AMD X2 processor that is running SBS?
