Windows Home Server memory requirements/support
-
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 2:04 PMI was able to download it with no problems. Now that it's 64Bit, will adding more than 4Gigs of RAM really improve the performance?

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 2:15 PMModerator Microsoft has an MSDN article which details memory support for various operating systems. Given that Windows Home Server is based on a version of Windows Server 2008 (a version of WS08 R2, I believe) I would think it will support at least 8 GB of memory. I don't think you'll see much benefit beyond 4, though, to be honest.

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 2:51 PMModeratorFrom my experience with Vail, I would say that 4 GB is more than enough. Frankly, I don't see any difference between 2 GB and 4 GB with anything I'm doing. Given that the underlying OS is Server 2k8 R2, with a very defined workload, that is what I would expect anyway."JeyNyce" wrote in message news:1e23cde8-2dc7-497a-bb25-f603a405e2b6...I was able to download it with no problems.
