I'm trying to install Win 2000 on an old 200MHz computer... I don't remember ever having been through such a slow installation process :wtf:. I mean, damn, took two hours already, and it's only just "Registering Components" X| Also, just a small question... what will happen when I take out the 128Mb RAM I just added because the installation required at least 64Mb RAM (and I had 32)... will Windows 2000 refuse to boot, or do I have a chance to get it working?
Cheers,

LOL... :) W2K on a 200mhz mmachine with only 32mb... I have the image of you loading your gun, pointing it at your foot and then wonding "Will this hurt?" :) Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

It made it through the first boot... now I just need to remove that extra ram and see :-D Ohh... next challenge is to see if I can get that old ISA ethernet card working I found at a recycling center :) ...only problem is: it doesn't get detected by the search for hardware feature of Win2K... Win 95 found it (it didn't work though, but thats another story).. any thought?

Yay! it works! Took 5'40" to boot (from the time i turn on the power switch till the desktop icons appear; including logon, etc) with 32Mb RAM... not as bad as I thought (but not much better anyway) :cool: ... and Windows didn't complain about the ram or anything: I think I should write an article on cheating installation programs or something :laugh:

Yeah, he's definately one of my heroes. I remember standing in line (drunk off my ass) with my band mates when the first Star Wars came out. What blew us away was that all this philosophy stuff they were talking about was stuff we'd all been quietly talking about for years. Quietly, becuase as a friend of mine once so eloquently put it, "In America, there are basically two religions - Christianity and all that other weird shit." And here they were talking about "all that other weird shit" right up there on the big screen for the world to see. Of course, today it's become such a staple of pop culture that "use the force" is considered a joke, but it was extremely cool at the time.
