The most significant area of change is the recommended processor speed. While Windows 2000 required a 133 MHz or faster processor, Microsoft recommends a 550 MHz or faster processor for Standard Edition and Web Edition, and a 733 MHz or faster processor for Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition. Memory and disk space requirements are much the same.

*Important: The 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, are only compatible with 64-bit Intel Itanium-based systems. They cannot be successfully installed on 32-bit systems.
Disk Space Considerations
Disk space and disk partitions bring up another decision point when choosing whether to upgrade or perform a clean install on a new system. For example, if your servers currently use the file allocation table (FAT) file system, which limits hard disk partitions to two gigabytes, you can’t upgrade to Windows Server 2003 because more than two gigabytes of space are required for the upgrading process.
If your servers currently use the NT file system (NTFS), which has a limit of 32 gigabytes per partition, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2003 while retaining NTFS. In order to avoid the 32-gigabyte limit of NTFS, you would need to do a clean installation.
