Dell figures you need two processors just handle W2k: yahoo.cnet.com A study conducted by Danville, Calif.-based Competitive Systems Analysis (CSA) concluded that to achieve application performance on par with Windows NT, many companies moving to Windows 2000 will need a processor upgrade equivalent to a 15 percent to 20 percent performance boost. Microsoft lists the minimum Windows 2000 Professional system requirements as a 133-MHz Pentium processor and 64 MB of RAM. But Dell and some analysts think Windows 2000 needs much more. Unofficially, the company recommends a minimum 400-MHz Celeron processor or better for commercial PCs, and, officially, Dell is telling corporate customers they need 128 MB of RAM.
