You can find specific details on MS recommended minimums and you exceed them as they are pretty low. &nbsp;Obviously this is not what you want for production but for testing just fine.<br />

I have a system lying around which consists of an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ CPU and 4GB of RAM - it is also running Windows Server 2003 R2.<br />
<br />
Is this spec good enough to run MS Server 2005 Std or should I look at changing it? It will not be a mission-critical server that needs to be running 24/7.<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Is this system spec good enough for MS Server Std 2005?
