Well i keep getting ancient comouters from schoole etc (im 16). I have 10 of them and 3 of my own setup as:

NETWORK A

1x NT 3.51 Server (50mhz, 16mb ram)
1x Win 3.11 (20mhz, 10mb ram)

WORKGROUP B

1x NT4 Server (233mhz, 64mb RAM
2xNT4 Workstation (166mhz, 32mb RAM)
1x Win 95 ( 166mhz, 32mb Ram)

WORKGROUP C

1x Win2k Server (1 ghz, 256mb ram)
2x Win 2K workstation (700mhz, 128mb ram)
1x Win 98 (166mhz, 128mb RAM)

WORKGROUP D

1x Win 2003 Sever (2 ghz, 1gb ram)
1x XP Home (1 ghz, 512mb ram
1x XP Pro (3 ghz, 1gb ram)

I am retiring A in the next 3 months, B within 6 and C within 12 and hope to upgrade the XP PR0 to Vista. Is there a server upgrade of vista coming out so i can upgrade 2003 and should i get it as it cost a fiortune before

My current PC runs Vista just fine. At least, it has run every one of the betas I've installed on it.

But, incidentally, I will be building a new PC that will run Vista. It's not just because of Vista's coming out, it's just my regular upgrade cycle. I plan to start with these components:
  • Athlon64 x2 4200
  • 2x1GB PC3200 Dual channel
  • 1.25TB of disk space (1x250GB primary boot volume, 3x500GB in RAID5 storage)
  • 1xNVIDIA 7900GS, to add a second one in the future.

It's going to be a pretty tough machine-- I think it will be up to the task of choking on Vista
