SQL Server 2000 - Which version do I need?

Which version should I download ?

I am currently running dual boot system Win2000 / Win XP Pro (Use Pro
mainly) - I have seen many diff versions available on the MS website, but
i'm unsure which is best for me.

I aim to use it for developing alongside ASP & ASP.net

x-post trimmed to 24HSHD from
24hoursupport.helpdesk,microsoft.public.sqlserver
and no FUs set.

That would be the 64bit version or not, if you do/don't have a 64bit
system.

Or even the CE version for mobile devices, which doesn't match your OS
selection above, so it's not that version.

Could be the MSDE version, for making embedded database, for new
developers up to 25 users.

Maybe just the large and expensive SQL Server 2000.

It's always possible you may want to start off with the SQL Server 2005
Express Preview, a free download.

Then perhaps another SQL server would do?
MySQL
miniSQL
Borland

You should use the Desktop version of MS SQL Server 2000. The Desktop
version will run on Win 2k and XP pro and is what I use in the ASP.NET
development work.

I haven't tried this myself yet but it looks interesting, if MS is
your thing
