Windows Server 2008 System Requirements:
This software is intended for evaluation and deployment planning
purposes only. If you plan to install the software on your primary
computer, it is recommended that you back up your existing data
prior to installation.
To use Windows Server 2008, you need:
Component | Requirement |
Processor | • Minimum: 1 GHz (x86 processor) or 1.4 GHz (x64 processor) |
Memory | • Minimum: 512 MB RAM • Recommended: 2 GB RAM or greater • Maximum (32-bit systems): 4 GB (Standard) or 64 GB (Enterprise and Datacenter) • Maximum (64-bit systems): 32 GB (Standard) or 1 TB (Enterprise and Datacenter) or 2 TB (Itanium-Based Systems) |
Available Disk Space | • Minimum: 10 GB |
Drive | DVD-ROM drive |
Display and Peripherals | • Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution monitor • Keyboard • Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device |
Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration
and the applications and features you choose to install. Processor
performance is dependent upon not only the clock frequency of the
processor, but the number of cores and the size of the processor
cache. Disk space requirements for the system partition are
approximate. Itanium-based and x64-based operating systems will
vary from these disk size estimates. Additional available hard-disk
space may be required if you are installing over a network. For
more information, see the Windows Server product site.
Installation and Activation
Evaluating Windows Server 2008 software does not require product
activation or entering a product key. Any edition of Windows Server
2008 may be installed without activation and evaluated for an
initial 60 days.
If you need more time to evaluate Windows Server 2008, the 60-day
evaluation period may be reset (or re-armed) three times, extending
the original 60-day evaluation period by up to 180 days for a total
possible evaluation time of 240 days. After this time, you will
need to uninstall the software or upgrade to a fully-licensed
version of Windows Server 2008.

Service Pack:
Microsoft occasionally releases service packs for its Windows operating systems to fix bugs and also add new features.
Because Windows Server 2008 is based on the Windows NT 6.0 Service Pack 1 kernel, the RTM release is considered to be Service Pack 1; accordingly, the first service pack is called Service Pack 2. Announced on October 24, 2008, this service pack contains the same changes and improvements as the Windows Vista Service Pack 2, as well as the final release of Hyper-V 1.0, and an approximate 10% reduction in power usage.
The first SP2 beta build was sent out in October 2008, a public beta arrived in December 2008, and an RC-escrow build was given to testers in January 2009. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 share a single service pack binary, reflecting the fact that their code bases were joined with the release of Server 2008. On May 26, 2009, Service Pack 2 was ready for release. It is now available in Windows Update.
