Enterprise or not?

Dear ALL,
I'm going to install a new cluster (2 X HP DL380 , MSA1000 Storage) based on
Win 2003 R2 Enterprise and I 'd like to know if I have to install SQL SERVER
2005 Enterprise or standard version could be fine.
Regards
Alberto BrivioStandard will work on a two node cluster but you may loose some other
features you need. Check out the feature comparison in BOL.

With SQL2005 the version will depend on the number of CPU's rather than the
memory and of course the features you require. If your server has more than
4 CPU's and you want SQL to use them then you must use Enterprise.
