i was beginning to give up and just throw w2k server on any system and hope for the best. I gather that w2k server will just about work on most systems than not. i will probaly go with the ecs k7s5a or p4s5a for a low budget system to practice on. i am shooting on trying for my cert exam the end of the month. practice practice practice thx again

ok i've been all over the internet to try and find a decent mobo compatible to load w2k server on to practice for my cert exam. i found that i should seek an intel mobo but which one, i have no idea. there's a computer show this weekend and there would be a lot of parts and systems for sale. i need help. do i purchase a ready made and risk compatibility issues or do i try to purchase parts to build a system of my own? pls help

four and twenty, what is via hcl? I was referring to hcl(hardward compatibility list) in w2k server.

Thanks for your response. I didn't even get as far as scsi. I figured I'd get a low budget system to run w2k server to practice for the exam and I'll get a monster system later to network all my systems together. I couldn't find the mobo I was going to purchase on the HCL for w2k server. I have an opportunity to purchase a system this weekend for about $450-$500 (1.5 xp amd,512mem, 40 gig hd mobo ecs k7s5a)Not On HCL!! w2k server warns about purchase not on the list. What do you think?

Hello everyone, I need help building a system to run w2k server on to study for my cert exam. What mobo's are capatible? I've been looking at an AMD XP1600 and a few mobos like abit kr7a raid and ecs k7s5a. please help
