Win2k minimum requirements
|
|
|
| Hopefully, this will be of use to someone. Despite the published requirements for Win2k Server and Professional,I'm finding that Advanced Server runs without problem on a P200 with 96 megs of RAM and Professional goes, not too badly, on 56 megs of RAM.
Of course, on the Server install, I haven't yet put in Active Directory and various other goodies--I'm just trying to get familiar with the O/S piece by piece.
At any rate, the good news is, that you don't have to run out and buy a new box or more memory--you can spend the money on books.

| One of my computers has 64MB of memory. I've run Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Active Directoy and all the other M$ bells and whistles on it before and it actually worked. Lol, it took 15 minutes to boot up though. I've also gotten 2000 Professional to run on 32MB and 98 to run on 4MB.

| Well, I got bold and put on AD tonight on the 96MB machine. Actually, not that bad, though I don't have the nerve yet to add the wife's laptop to the domain--if something goes wrong, then I'd have to fix it.
It's slowed it down a bit and I did have to quickly authorize it as DHCP server (as it gives her laptop it's IP addie and she couldn't get her email). At any rate, it's running if not at a super high speed, at a reasonable pace. However, haven't put on too many other bells and whistles. Don't know if I've mentioned that it's only a P200.
