W2000 on a Pentium 200
Right now I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro running Windows 95 and I want to upgrade it to 2000. How do you think W2000 could run on a Pentium 200 MHz computer with 64 megs of RAM? Will be really slow or liveable?.

Yeah... as long as you upgrade the RAM, you should be fine. I have it installed on a P100 with 256MB RAM, slow as hell but works fine.

I had a P200MMX, with 128MB ram and a 7.200 rpm hard disk. Boot time is 40s, after A LOT of SP, hot-fixes and config editing. It need this, configuration, but more 64MB ram at least, will be better.
Oh, and BTW, it´s not slow at all...

I've had Win2k Server running on an Armada (120; 80 Megs RAM 2 Gigs disk). It could run DNS services, Wins and was the DHCP server for the LAN. Useless for anything other than MSCE study, but it did work, quite impressivly actually.
2K Pro will run fine, assuming you don't plan to thrash your machine, just expect a long install and boot processes, I use mine for study, mostly just reading whitepapers and writing letters in Word.
