question regarding installation of win2k8 server

[Guest Jeff]

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?
