Hi

I would like to ask some of the questions.

1. Is it possible to downgrade from Windows 2003 Enterprise to Windows 2003 Standard?

2. Is there a workaround to get from Enterprise to Standard without during a fresh install?

3. If you have 16gb of memory, are you required to run Enterprise or can you still run Standard? I recall that Standard has a max memory of 4GB. Is this assume correct?

4, Is it possible to upgrade from Windows 2003 Enterprise 32-bit to 64-bit.

Yes but it requires a new install of the product that you want loaded

No

Yes but the OS will only access what it is capable of reading so the excess will remain unused

[i]4, Is it possible to upgrade from Windows 2003 Enterprise 32-bit to 64-bit.[/i]

Yes but you need to do a clean install as the Kernels are completely different and not interchangeable
