I ran server2003 as a workstation for several months, I really liked it.

If you can get a copy of server from school or something, I would suggest trying this. I wouldn't pay the huge price for server to do this however.

Usually server can use the XP drivers, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

I've used both server2003 and 2k3 x64 (enterprise) as workstation, and I haven't had ANY problems with games running compared with their xp pro counterparts, and they are more stable. All the textures display correctly, and if anything my CSS stress test improved, or at the least stayed the same.

What are you talking about? Steam works fine, I've used it on both 32 and 64 bit versions without a single problem.

I use nod32 Anti-Virus also, works great I guess, but I don't really get viruses anyways lol.
