    Hi all, I have a pentium 2, 233 MHz, SDRAM 64 with win 95. Now I wonder if it is possible to install win 2000 on this machine, if yes what is the procedure to achive this goal or what I have to think before I start the work. Any help or pointer to site which describe this process. regards /rsasalm

I mean I have Petium II 400 MHz / 310 MB Ram and still is not very fast. Probably adding another 64 MB would make things better.

        I currently have a Pentium Pro 180MHz running Win2K. It does have a slight advantage with 96MB of RAM, but I don't think you'll have any problem installing on your machine. Although I much prefer using my new server for my daily work, the old Ppro machine did quite nicely for a long time - I'm just spoiled by the speed of the new one now:) If you're certain that the rest of your hardware is compatible, go for it. On mine, I fired up the installation program, answered a couple of questions, then went to bed. In the morning it was fully installed and working, despite being only the Beta 3 release.

          Roger, this guy has only 64 Megs of RAM ! Probably it's going to end up with all sorts of error messages due to lack of memory. P.S. Please let me know if installation was successful. Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)

            I understand that, but I only had 96MB, an even slower CPU, and much older equipment. It's worth the risk, to my thinking. If it fails, he can always add RAM. I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!
