Hi all,

i will be getting a new server which has an AMD Phenom Quadcore with 8 GB of RAM.

I am currently trying to find out which Operating System will be the best to use for this machine. I only plan on using it as a standalone network rendering node, so i dont care for any other features. What is important to me:

• Vue 6 infinite must run as stable as possible
• The 64 Bit/8 GB RAM should be used with maximum performance.

SO i thought about the possible candidates:

• Windows XP Professional X64 Edition
• Windows Server 2003 Standard X64
• Windows Vista X64

I must admit i am generally against Vista as i made very bad experiences with it regarding performance and compatibility. But i would like to hear the oppinion of some folks that really use a 64 Bit machine, what's your experience?
