One good reason to migrate to Windows Server 2008
In the past 6 months, SAP Support has worked on a small but increasing number of incidents involving customer reports of a dramatic decrease in memory access performance, which might even lead to a system standstill. The root cause of the problem is that the configuration of the Windows Server 2003 server in conjunction with the configuration of the SAP system has revealed an architectural limitation of the Windows Server 2003 x64 operating system. On servers with more than 16 GB of physical memory where multiple processes are configured to use large amounts of shared memory, there is a good chance that the Windows Memory Manager runs into an infinite loop when trying to insert new pages into the fixed-sized working set administration table. For more information, see SAP note 1316558 (SMP login required).
