Your Server

Is it possible to run Windows Small Business Server 2003/8 on a desktop type computer and run a server ?

Also will the server still run smooth and be reliable.

1. And run a server? not sure what you mean however... Small Business Server 2003 will run on a desktop PC but it needs to be a decent spec. All depends on what performance you want and how many users. You'll need at the very least a Pentium 4 CPU and 1GB of memory and preferably a hard drive with an 8MB cache minimum. And that will give you a "workable" system. If you are running it properly in a business then ideally you want a core 2 duo, 1.5GBs of ram and a quick hard drive like a Western Digital Raptor. or one 16MB cache. SBS 2003 is very reliable if it is not on an underspecified server or poor quality hardware. Hope this helps.
2. The above is correct, but it all depends on what you want. Do not forget to download relevant drivers!
