Yo_Richard and "BU$$ER$"............. Re:http://www.zdnet.com/filters/printerfriendly/0,6061,2418011-54,00.html This is an excerpt from the ARTICLE link above: Microsoft claims that Windows 2000 Professional will run on a 133MHz Pentium and 64MB of RAM. Yeah, right. Our tests showed that you can forget about running Windows 2000 Professional on anything less than a Pentium Pro desktop with 128MB of RAM. And even on those systems, performance is sluggish. The operating system performs best on desktop and notebook systems with Pentium IIs or Pentium IIIs with 128MB of RAM. Increasing memory capacity beyond 128MB yielded negligible performance improvements in tests. The user experience for those migrating from Windows NT to Windows 2000 will be relatively positive. Our Ziff-Davis Winstone 99 test indicates about a 5 percent to 10 percent drop-off in performance when moving to Windows 2000, a difference most users will not notice. This drop-off is not surprising because hardware drivers have not been tuned for Windows 2000 the way they are for Windows NT. I would say this should help sell more RAMBU$!!!!!!!! Salude - Norman.
