hey

I got 2 computers here at home that I if possible would like to install
Windows Server 2008 (evaluation) on

pcA has this config:
Pentium 450Mhz
Network card
768Mb RAM
40Gb Hard drive

pcB has this config
Pentium 650Mhz
Network card
128Mb RAM
20Gb Hard drive

Can I install Windows Server 2008 on any of these computers or are the
configuration too out-dated?
I've tried on pcB, but during installation I get an error saying it failed
to create
RAM.disk, not enough memory. I did't succed in installing on pcA either -
tryed to install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Full installation and that
failed... I haven't tryed Core Installation.. maybe that would help? maybe
there is a switch for turning off the RAMdisk?

Today I have win2k3 installed on pcA, it's domain controller in my AD.

(I know these comps are out-dated but I hope I somehow can install win2k8 on
them, because I want to learn about win2k8 etc... so I do this for the
purpose of learning)

any suggestions?
