We students are poor fellas that still have to work with Windows 98. A little help is always welcomed

If your university has an arrangement with MS through www.dreamspark.com, you can get 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 and 2008... FREE!

Hehe, just mocking Carol a bit. Thankfully we have arrangements with Microsoft so we can get for free nearly all of their important software, except for Office, of course.
Even then, without this arrangement, my fellow students know where to get them for free ;D

I haven't actually installed Windows Server 2003/2008 yet (though I have downloaded it and got a key). Are you saying both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are on the same image because DreamSpark doesn't doesn't mention the installation type.

The download at dreamspark for Windows Server 2008 is for the 32-bit version. However, the key is good for either 32-bit or 64-bit so, if you want the 64-bit version you need to download the trial ISO from MS, burn it to DVD, install it and then you can activate it with the key. However, AFAIK, you can only activate one OR the other version with the key, not both.

OK - I didn't know that. Useful stuff ;)
