install SS 2005 on win2k3 ENT or STD, which is better??

[tlyczko]

We are planning a SQL Server 2005 install on VMware ESX, as the
backend to a Sharepoint Services 3.0 web front end..

Do I gain anything at all by installing SS 2005 on Win2k3 ENTERPRISE
as the OS instead of Standard??

Thank you, Tom

Only whatever you gain by running that OS, such as support for more
than 4 CPUs.
