LOL! Me and another guy at work installed Windows 2000 on a laptop similar to your setup. It worked ok until we installed Oracle 8i. At that point it wouldn't even boot. The computer would hard-lock whenever Oracle tried to initialize.

Here's my Win2k crap-o server, it is the proxy and storage server for my 5-node home network..

You don't need much..

WHen this was running Win98, the boot drive was a 425MB WD that still works!

 

[bandXtrb]

had it on a pentium 133 laptop, 48mb ram, 1.4gb.

Not fun. Win98 is still the best option for your system.

i had 2k on a 233 laptop with 128mb ram and it was decent, although it took like 2 hrs to install...

i can't imagine how slow it would be on that thing...

For a server, it's fine. I couldn't imagine using it as a primary machine, but it moves just fine for my purpose.

I like looking at the "status" for the LAN Nic, 7.6GB sent..

Server's been up for 44 days, only reason I had to take it down was what turned out to be a RR DNS problem..

 

[Spikesoldier]

2K on a P2-333 and with 128MB PC-66 Is fine for me

 

[Nefrodite]

dear lord you mus tbe nutz. i had nt4 on a p90 and it made me want to tear my hair out. slow beyond imagination. well atleast you have 2x the ram i did i guess you can always take a shower or something while it boots up
