Guest Jeff Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 hey I got 2 computers here at home that I if possible would like to install Windows Server 2008 (evaluation) on pcA has this config: Pentium 450Mhz Network card 768Mb RAM 40Gb Hard drive pcB has this config Pentium 650Mhz Network card 128Mb RAM 20Gb Hard drive Can I install Windows Server 2008 on any of these computers or are the configuration too out-dated? I've tried on pcB, but during installation I get an error saying it failed to create RAM.disk, not enough memory. I did't succed in installing on pcA either - tryed to install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Full installation and that failed... I haven't tryed Core Installation.. maybe that would help? maybe there is a switch for turning off the RAMdisk? Today I have win2k3 installed on pcA, it's domain controller in my AD. (I know these comps are out-dated but I hope I somehow can install win2k8 on them, because I want to learn about win2k8 etc... so I do this for the purpose of learning) any suggestions?
