Running win2k on a dual core?

Name: Anonymous 2007-01-20 15:50

I'll be upgrading soon. My machine is 4 yrs old now, and I'm running win2k. I hate xp and I have a feeling I won't like Vista much better.
The question is, is there a point in using 2k on a new machine? Will there be compatibility issues, or will resources get wasted because of an obsolete system?
In other words, I'm completely satisfied with 2k, will I have to change it?

   Never ran a dual core but W2K worked very well with dual cpu boards.

What is wrong with Win2k3? I've been running it for a year and a half without problems...

That's the exact problem with it - From Microsoft's viewpoint.

Kind of hard to maintain an upgrade treadmill when they release good stuff. Windows 2000 was too close to good for their comfort.

"Windows 2000 was too close to good for their comfort."

   I'm new to XP but so far I see little actual difference between W2K & XP. The obvious differences are pretty much looks and a few extra drivers. They dropped a few dumb 98 features that should have already been pruned from W2K.

Don't change these.
