Note: The Express version has a number of limitations which may prevent its use in your environment, such as:

1. • Constrained to a single CPU (in 2012, this limitation has been changed to "the lesser of one socket or four cores" - thus, multi-threading is possible)
   • A maximum of 1GB RAM Buffer Pool (same in 2008 & 2012)
   • A maximum 4 GB database size (raised to 10GB in SQL 2008 & 2012)

   • Further, it may lack certain enterprise level utilities that may be of interest for database maintenance, tuning and possible future SQL Server version migration needs.  Further information my be found at:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169634/limitations-of-sql-server-express
