Bad luck 
keep looking at nearby stores and online sites for any heavy discount deal may spawn up.

Hey guys I downloaded the Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit). Here are the minimum system requirements - Windows Server 2008 R2: System Requirements
Can I run it on a P4 (3.07GHZ with HT) with 1 GB RAM? How much space would it take approx.? The site states min. 32GB. But I think the way my requirements are, it will be much less.

Man, do you think it will be better if i dump 7 and take server 2008 r2? What is Hyper V by the way?
1) SErver OS are expensive like hell
2) I dont recomment any1 to use Server os over Normal OS like Win 7 /XP
3) Hyper v is a virtulization env inside 2008 server , its like VIrtual Box /VMware

1. I got Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard edition) for free from DreamSpark.
2. I know but I don't have 5000 to shell out..
3. I will not need Hyper V anyways...
I want to buy a new copy of Win7 for my newly built dormant (sitting duck) PC. Since i spent off the entire amount for the parts I have hardly any left for the OS. So I want to ask:
Q: Is there any student version or student discount on win7 (Home premium upwards) available here in India?
Yes!

It was Windows Server 2008 (32 bit) (Not R2 btw). The gfx is Radeon X1250.
I installed the regular Catalyst (10-02_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc) for Vista and it worked. I used Win Server exclusively for gaming btw.

But I have a 32-bit processor. [P4 @ 3.07GHz HT]. Will the 64-bit run on it?
By the way how much space does it [WS 2008 R2] take on your HD?
I don't have any graphics card.

It means my dream is shattered. It can't even run on 32-bit dual core processors?
u can run only 32 bit version of ANY OS only
eg win 7 32bit
XP 32 bit
server 32 bit
ubuntu 32 etc ............
to run 64 bit os u need processor which support 64 bit instruction
