MORE INFORMATION
Check System Requirements
Your computer should meet the following hardware requirements:
133 MHz or faster Pentium-compatible CPU
64 megabytes (MB) of RAM minimum; more memory generally improves responsiveness (4 gigabytes [GB] RAM maximum)
2 GB hard disk space with a minimum of 650 MB of free space (additional free hard disk space is required if you are installing over a network)
NOTE: Windows 2000 Professional supports both single-CPU and dual-CPU computers.

You can also use the Microsoft Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer tool to audit the current status of your computer and get a report of known hardware and software compatibility issues, based on Microsoft testing. If you are concerned about the results of the report you should not upgrade until these issues are corrected. Contact your hardware or software manufacturer for updates that enable the products to run properly on Windows 2000.
