[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 522150, member: 14004"] Something you may want to look at instead - and this is how I have my home servers setup - is to run any dedicated servers you want as a Virtual Machine using something like VMWare or Virtualbox. Since your HTPC has plenty of RAM installed, you could look at installing a vista/XP 64 installation with virtualization on top of that running server 2003 in a contained environment. Then setup any server services you want (Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, etc...) and have those services running completely contained. I do this with my home servers - one physical box running a windows 2003 domain and a linux based PBX for my home telephony system. I would avoid using a server operating system as your primary HTPC setup for the reasons that have already been mentioned. [/QUOTE]
