Windows 2003 Web & Standard


Hey guys, just wondering, is there any huge difference between the two?
I'm primarily going to use the server for gaming.

After researching, the only thing I saw was that Web only supports up to 2GB of ram.

Web is normally for those that do not require MS SQL etc, I find it quite inconvenient especially the restrictions, for normal cases I would take the Standard as it is much more flexible.

On Web Edition you can install SQL Express/MSDE but not the full SQL. I personally would recommend going for standard, that way if one day you do need SQL then you have the ability to use it.
