| 77803 | 2002-09-08 22:06:00 | Hi, I have tried running win 2K numerous times on my machine but everytime I find my self having to get rid of it and go back to either 98 or ME. The reason been it seems a lot slower than these two OS's. Im pretty sure I have everything setup properly, I have installed many OS's before but 2K just doesn't feel right. I would like to use it since from what everyone tells me it sounds pretty phat. Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers Nuts |

| 77806 | 2002-09-08 22:38:00 | you could try adding more ram 2k can use it plus disable its rollback program | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 77807 | 2002-09-08 22:46:00 | Roll back ??. Is that like a recovery thing or something ??. | Nuts8 (1787) | ||
| 77808 | 2002-09-08 22:52:00 | 128MB is the absolute minimum amount of RAM required to run the OS, so you should just try adding additional modules to speed things along.. | honeylaser (814) | ||

| 77810 | 2002-09-08 23:03:00 | You're probably running more services than you need. I have a K6/2 500 with 256MB RAM and 2000 is running faster than 98. Check out this page. www.techspot.com |

| 77811 | 2002-09-09 02:27:00 | You guys all talking in the hundreds of megs of RAM, I've got a 120Mhz Laptop that runs 2k WAY faster than the family PC runs 98, and that's a 933Mhz with 128MB Ram. I didn't know about 2K having Roll-Back? Try disabling stuff upon startup, like norton anti-virus and real one stuff. That might help, If you are running anything. Chilling_Silence |
