ArcGIS Server 9.3 System Requirements
Quiet a few are asking what the ArcGIS Server 9.3 system requirements are or if support for a operating system has been added. ESRI has updated the ESRI Support Centre with this information now. I thought I would create one post that contained all of this information.

Jithen,
Can you tell if Windows XP (64-bit) will work…I’m assuming it will just run it as if it were 32-bit, as it does with other applications.
Thanks,
Josh
Nothing about memory !?
Based on the comments above, can I assume that Arc GIS Server 9.3 will run on Windows Vista 64?
Thanks
