    Win 2K on these specs

    I'd like to know if Win2K would run well on these specs:

    P2- 333 MHz
    160 MB RAM
    10 + 6 GB HDD (two hard drives)

    It's my old desktop and I was thinking of a clean format, and upgrading to a better OS.

    One of my friends has W2K on this:

    P2- 350 MHz
    256 MB RAM
    20 GB HDD


    it's a little slow, but usable.

    What's a Gentoo? Sounds like a species of crack addicted, caffeine crazed monkeys from South America.

    No I didn't, it's just a suggestion. If ya got an old PC, why not learn a new OS?
