  I have an opportunity to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition from my Standard Edition. Is there any performance benefit in doing this for SQL Server 2008 developers edition?

  Thanks

  Enterprise edition is more scalable so its a question of whether you can leverage the extra power enterprise can give you, i.e. support for more processors and more RAM.
