INFERNO2000 0 Posted August 2, 2000 First time I installed Win2k(prof) was an upgrade to the 9x kernel..it went great...but I decided to format and go 1 OS only and have gone that way(with the exception of a 4 month Dual OS system) since. ------------------ Win2k System AMD Athlon 750 retail (Slot A) Asus K7V Mobo BIOS revision 1007-02c(beta) PNY 294 MB PC100 SDRAM A-Top 901 Case & 300W Athlon Approved Power Supply CL SB Live!

Kaiser 0 Posted August 2, 2000 Hi, I have two systems at home - the first (and my main one) is dual-booted with 98 and Win2k Pro and works perfectly. The second (a rather aging Gateway) was upgraded from 98 without any problems - all hardware was detected and installed correctly and most of the existing software worked fine as well. Overall I have to say I've been EXTREMELY impressed with the stability and performance of Win2k on both systems - sure you get the odd problem with video drivers but that's the chance you take with pre-release betas. Incidentially, I installed the final version of SP1 there yesterday and everything is still working fine....this has to be, in my opinion, Microsoft's best Opsys yet. (and no, I don't work for them!) ;-) Share this post Link to post

Bursar 0 Posted August 4, 2000 I ran a dual boot with 98/2000 for a month or so until I had tried everything under 2000. Once I'd proved to myself that everything would be ifne, I wiped everything and did a clean install. ------------------ PIII 650 Coppermine Intel 440BX-2 Motherboard 2x128MB PC 100 RAM Maxtor 92049U6 20.4GB 7200RPM UDMA66 Maxtor 52049U4 20.4GB 7200RPM UDMA66 Matrox Millenium G400 MAX Sony DDU220E IDE DVD-ROM Yamaha CRW4416S SCSI CD-RW Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer USB Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro US Robotics Sportster Flash v90 External modem Iiyama Vision Master Pro 17 3Com EtherLink XL PCI (3c900B Combo) Adaptec 2940 Ultra Wide SCSI controller Sound Blaster Live!
