Playing Games With Windows Server 2k/03???
Can you play games like Quake3, Unreal2, C&C Generals, MOHAA and other games with a Windows Server 2000 or 2003 box?

From what I have heard, yes. The server os types allocate a "more equal" timeslice to threads in the background, such as os calls, as opposed to threads in the foreground, such as user functions: mouse movement, keystrokes and so on. This means that games may be slightly laggy to input from you, but I am not too certain you will notice. I have to wonder why one would game on a server os anyway.
Do a search on threads or go to 2cpu.com and do some poking about in all things servery and thready, paying particular attention to posts by jeh.... |

You can set the foreground threads the priority.
But regardless, be sure to have *at least* 512MB of RAM to play the heavy games on that OS. I have been playing Fatal Fury 3 in it fine with 256MB, but if I open another window or app, the game becomes a real dog.
