Gsa on dedicate server, win server 2008 r2 standard. Should do any optimization?

I used to run gsa on win7 before. Just ordered an dedi with os win 08 r2.  Should optimize the os for run gsa better?

Win 2008 r2 is sorta made for SER . You might want to set up malwarebytes , winrar,dropbox and all the regular stuff though .And also make sure the time and date are set up properly , this is important toprevent certificate errors .

thank you.

I run kaspersky on my own pc, but i'm afraid it will slow down the dedi.
