Index Clustering on 2005

What is the diferences in clustering indexes on 2005 between standard and enterprise? We are trying to figure out if we need the enterprise version
I think the ability to do table and index partitioning is only a feature of Enterprise. So if you have tables big enough that you need partitioning, that would be a factor.
Online build/rebuilds is also only available in Enterprise IIRC.
See ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/instsql9/html/81f3e917-884a-4cc8-aca2-0a5fea89f355.htm in BOL for feature availability.

I’ve moved to relevant forum-

In 2000 you had to have the Enterprise version to do index clustering. We need to need to know if this is still true. This is for a Data warehouse but could help a couple of our other databases too. The problem is, the price difference for Enterprise over Standard version. [:0]
