What do I need to install/test Project Server

[BVM]

Hi:

I want to install Project Server on a test machine. To make Project Server fully working, do I need to install following software as well?
1. MS WINDOWS Server 2003 (Can I just have a Windows XP Professional?)
2. MS SQL 2003 (Can I use SQL 2000?)
3. IIS
4. OFFICE 2007 (I will use Project 2007 as client)
5. SharedPoint
6. DotNet 2.0?
7. Portfolio Server

Tha's all I can think I need to test Project Server. What else do I need?

Thanks,

Dennis Huang

BVM:

It depends on whether you want to test the EPM solution or the Standalone solution. For the former, you need:

Windows Server 2003 or 2008 (not tested on 2008)
SQL Server (2000 or 2005)
IIS
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (installs with Project Server)
Dot.Net 2.xxx and Dot.Net 3.0

Portfolio Server is a separate tool that you can choose to test with or without Project Server, and vice versa.
