Win2000 Compatiable Issues

[nush]

Does anyone know if my following hardware will be supported under Windows 2000? Because if it is supported, then I will install the OS.

My hardware specs are as follows:
-AMD K6-2 450MHz
-FIC 503+ (using the via chipset) motherboard
-Sigma Design Realmagic Hollywood Plus
-Sound Blaster AWE64 (ISA Version)
-USR 33.6 modem
-Tekram SCSI card DC-390F
-Asus 6600 GeForce card
-SMC 1211TX Network card
-Locitech MouseMan Serial (3 button mouse)
-Uman Astra 1220s Scanner (SCSI model)

Get latest mboard bios, install, and have the latest Win2k video driver downloaded, ready to install. Hollywood+ driver. Also, the USR modem may have a flash update to 56k. SCSI card MAY need drivers supplied at time of first boot, just try & see if it boots without, (or else check the official MS hardware compatibility list).
Recommend removing the NIC before installing the OS, get system up & running, get hotfix updates from MS Windows update, then power off; reinstall NIC. Clean install only.

I tried installing Windows 2000 (NT5)and there seems to be a memory conflict with the AGI video card which is the Asus 6600 card and the VIA motherboard (I think it was the irq problem). When I install the drivers and reboot, it will get stuck on the restart part of the setup. The only way i can get back in is to press the reset button and do a safe boot to get back in. It doesn't seem to work with my AGP video card. I also tried using the new VIA's updated drivers, still no luck.

MS has an analyzer to see if your system is compatible with win2k.

Also on the win2k cd under the folder "support" there is a file called HCL.TXT see if all your devices are on there.

Hope that helps
