Server 2003 RAID 5 Dynamic Partitioning?

[Dave]

We will be bringing in a Windows 2003 server with dual processors an 2
GB RAM and 5 73GB dives in a hardware RAID 5 configuration. This is
what a I call our Super Server. It has two Gb NICS that will plugged
into Gb ports on (2) 48 port 100 mb switches. It is going to server
files and applications including a datawarehousing app. My question
regards dynamic partitioning. Does Win 2003 server have this built in
or is a product like PQ Volume Manager still needed? Any advice
appreciated.

TIA, Dave
