Um........... Whys such an outa date server? can't you upgrade to say Windows XP server? it runs better and will not have as much problems with XP as say a 2003 server will. Thats kinda old tech for a Game server to run on. On top of that alot of servers use this old stuff and then run all kinds of non EA/DICE offical server admin crap and then blame all the bugs on EA/DICE when it's realy the crapy fan made server admin software they are runing that makes life bad for all the people on the server.

I always tell people and server admins to stick with the offical EA/DICE provided server files, and admin tools and when they do the server has almost no lag, and it never crashes. But then there are those stubbern server admins who think everything EA branded sucks and won't do it so the server crashes and kicks people at random, or worse locks up mid gameplay that makes all players have to restart their PCs. It's madning why people won't use the offical server files they WORK! alot better than some fan made crap that alot of servers use.
