Hi All
Doing some upgrades and need to move SurgeMail Version 5.2c-1, Built Feb  1 2011 11:58:43, Platform Windows (Surgeweb Enabled)

From a Win 2003 Server to A virtual Win 2008 Server, (Is it better 32 or 64 Bit)

We have done it previously but the memory needs a jog.

I recently setup a 64 bit Win2008 server(physical, not virtual) and am finding some software is not 64 bit compatible yet.  I would assume that Netwin is better than that, but I would test.  And would test/check all software you plan to install.  If you can I would go 64bit as that is the future of computing.

Never built a 2003 server, but noticed that 2008 uses ReadyBoost.  You will  always find the server using 100% memory.  ReadyBoost is like disk caching on Linux(which has had this feature since day one).  ReadyBoost now uses all free ram for extra disk caching and it is reflected in Task Manager.
