Default why do we need to use the server motherboard to run the WINDOW 2003 server version

Do we need to use SERVER MOTHERBOARD to run the WINDOW 2003 SERVER VERSION?


I HEARD THAT IF WE ARE USING THE REGULAR MOTHERBOARD, THE AUDIO CHIPSET ON THE MOTHERBOARD WILL NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 2003 SERVER SOFTWARE? IS THAT TRUE?

I AM CURRENTLY USING I 945 GNTL INTEL MOTHERBOARD.

THANK YOU!

Are you angry about something? Why are you yelling?

No you don't need a server motherboard to run Windows Server 2003, and audio will work fine. I don't know where you heard any of that but it is not true.

No, I am not angry. I was just too lazy to put it to lower case.

My vendor gave me the following link

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...ProductID=2068

There is no "WINDOWS 2003 SERVER" option.

Does that mean this motherboard has not tested with 2003 server yet?

Thank you!
