Would like to install Windows Server 2003 on the new Quad-Core Apple Xserve. Looking at the hardware I feel it's possible, but want to make sure that it is possible before purchasing. The reason to run Windows Server is to have SQL Server and Oracle running on it. As far as I know Mac does not support them on OS X. Would appreciate your help on this. Thanks!

It's my understand that windows 2000 server standard will support up to 4 CPUs. I just installed a new server with dual quad cores giving me 8. However only 4 cores are showing up. I thought licensing was based on CPU and not on cores. Multiple processor support has been turned on but seems like it's confused between cores and cpus. Is there a way to get arround this other tnah buying entersize edition?

Looking to purchase a new server and spec it up. Getting conflicting ansers as to whether or not this can be used. Was told if I installed second quad processor windows will not be able to use it. Does it need to be the 64 bit version to utilise 2 quad core processors.
