[Tech - Geek] Using Windows Server 2003 as a workstation
Several months ago, I bought an second-hand nVidia GeForce FX 5200 video card for my gaming computer, which also functions as the server cum domain controller for my home network. When I tried to install the drivers for the "new" card, they wouldn't install. When I checked the nVidia web site for updated drivers, it didn't list any for Windows Server 2003. Grumbling to myself, I decided to revert the OS to Windows Server 2000, which had a driver for the card.
Just after I finished installing the OS, I discovered that the problem with Win2K3 was just a matter of settings. So today I finally got around to reinstalling Win2K3 Standard Server. Following these instructions, I successfully installed the nVidia drivers, and that baby screams.
So, for anyone who wants to use Windows Server 2003 as a workstation, check out the Microsoft Software Forum Network.
