[QUOTE="zinetwin, post: 729305, member: 112384"] So I have read the requirements and have determined that the only issue with the server platform is that the OS' don't support the capture cards. I have also read limpwhizkid's threads on setting up MP on server 2k8R2. In my case the capture card issue is not a problem at all.
