Win 2k on 32MB RAM

[JohnK]

I just got a copy of Windows 2000 Pro and I'm going to install it on my little brother's laptop (150MHz Pentium, 32MB RAM, 2GB HD). Will it perform horribly on these specs? I've never worked with Windows 2000 before. Thanks!

It won't be any good.

I suspected since microsoft says the minimum requirements for ram is 64MB
But hey I'll install it for the heck of it anyway as an experiment  
Thanks!

I hope you have enough hard drive space.

These little experiments sure are fun...

His little brother will be going to college by the time it boots up.

hahaha actually it's not that bad... although it took 3 hours(!) to install it runs surprisingly smooth... it's a bit slow but i'll upgrade the ram eventually. It took me a little bit of searching to find Mwave drivers for Windows 2000 but i think it runs fine (this little machine has never been fast). Thanks!

jkpj13, here's a gift for you:



It's about 1/12 the file size your file, and yet looks better.    All I ask is that you save it to your hard drive and then host it wherever you would normally host your avatar; in other words, don't just link to it from my photobucket account.

Thanks soybean i was thinking about resizing it anyway.
