Hi, I signed up for Technet in order to teach myself how to setup, manage, and maintain a network. I am building a box to act as a server. I know what the minimum requirements are but what is the lowest CPU/ram combo that I can get away with and have it work properly? This would be for SBS 2003 Standard. Thanks! john
