Shouldn't be running a Server version of XP? Sorry, I'm new to hdd controller add-in cards. What does BBU stand for? |

I suspect the RAM is the only big thing. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx |

and btw xp or anything else would do just fine if there are drivers for the raid card you choose ... but then again if i were him id choose an os that supports more ram ... maybe win 7 ??? |
