Review by Joanna D.

I couldn’t wait to ditch the Windows ME that came on my new PC. I had plenty of RAM (you need at least 64 MB and in my opinion that is cutting it a bit fine.) The installation went smoothly, most of my applications work fine. This is a new PC, just shy of 1GB cpu speed and with components that have drivers for Windows 2000.nWarning: upgrading an older computer? Make sure the drivers for sound cards and peripherals are available for Windows 2000. You can do this by checking the website support section for the various devices you own. Download any new drivers you might need. If your PC is too old, you may not find any drivers for certain components. This happened to one of our PC’s at home.nIf you are setting up a home network, Windows 2000 is MUCH better than Win98 and WinME for doing this. And it boots a lot faster than WinME and WAY way faster than NT. I did have the occasional system hang but nothing like with WinME or Win98.nIn short, this is the operating system of choice for PC’s if your PC can handle it.
