We are currently trying to decide if we need to go with the Standard or Enterprise edition of 2003 Server on some new servers we are purchasing.
My main question is whether or not it is possible to allocate CPU and memory to specific applications such as SQL with the Standard Edition.
The server I am concerned about will be a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (4gb Ram, 6x300gb RAID 5) with Dual Intel Dual Core 2.8ghz 2x2 Processors. This server will be running SQL and Sharepoint Services and eventually we will be installing Sharepoint Portal Server.
Our other server will be an Exchange Server which is a PowerEdge 2850 (2gb Ram, 4x73gb RAID 5) with a Single Intel Xeon 2.8ghz processor. I think the Standard Edition should be fine for this server since Exchange is the only thing that will be running on it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
