Help with server OS downloads

Domo · 16 Apr 2012 at 09:11

I need to load a server OS onto a 32 bit machine. I only need it for the evaluation period. I have two questions.

I cannot locate 2003 server anywhere on the MS web site. Can anyone provide a link?

Or preferably. Is there a 32 bit version of 2008?

Thanks

32 bit CPU. It's an old laptop, this is a temporary setup while I evaluate some software.

Thanks Pho - I'll do some hunting around for 2008 classic. To be honest 2003 would do the job but I cannot locate a download anywhere on the MS web site. Maybe they've pulled the download - though I don't think MS would usually do such a thing.

Hi Kia - agreed, however I'm already very used to 2008

The only machine I have at my disposal for evaluation purposes it a 32 bit Toshiba Tecra laptop, hence the 'make do' with 2003 server since I cannot get my hands on 2008 32.
