    I wouldn't recommend it, since the memory isn't enough for W2K.

    since 64 megs of ram is the min I would say yes use it but it is going to be dog slow so I really wouldn't use it.

    Pump up the RAM to at least 128M (although more would be even better!), and you've got yourself a winner!

    2000 ran acceptably on my Sony P-266 laptop with 196M of RAM, and it positively flies on my HP PIII-750 laptop with 256M.

    Geeeez, some people are tough to please !

    We have about 300 laptops, PI and PII, most running under 500mhz, none with mor3e than 64m Ram and all work fine with Win 2K.

    It is true, the more ram, the better, but for
    the average user on those not so powerfull machine, it is aplenty.

    (of course, I've got 128m in mine)
