Hi all, I need a bit of advice.
My friend's father has an extra liscence for Windows 2000 server edition that I could use. The question I have for you is whether or not I would see a performance increase or decrease with the following system specifications (I would be coming from windows 98SE):
Pentium III 450MHz
512MB Ram
Two hard drives, 12 and 40GB
Since this is the full version of Win2000 I would have to wipe one of my hard drives before I install it. Do you think it would be worthwhile to buy a new hard drive to install Win200 on so I wouldn't have to back everything up (I have only one partition on my most used HD so picking files that I need to backup would be extremely time consuming)?
One last question. Are there any software migration/driver compatibility issues with Windows 2000 as I know there are with XP (like with video games and such)?
Thanks a lot for your advice.
