| 631144 | 2008-01-17 03:00:00 | Should work fine. Its not as ram hungry as XP or Vista. Hopefully, you've got the drivers for it |

| 631146 | 2008-01-17 03:05:00 | These maybe the drivers (support.euro.dell.com) You could try searching for them, using the service tag, if you can find it whatever this is. |

Thank you A 450 will struggle with the latest service pack and security updates, as I have tried installing on a similar system. It would be better to install on a P3 1Ghz min. |

Robbyp, would you recommend not installing the service packs? This is a low end user, only e-mails, internet banking...a few word documents... |

A few yrs ago, I ran 2k SP4 and updates on a 486 lol. It was fine. I WOULDNT get on the net with no SP's at all. Youre asking for trouble If you dont want any SP's dont put it on the internet. |

| 631151 | 2008-01-17 04:29:00 | If you decide to get SP4, there is also a rollup (the first one MS cocked up). There is also a 2nd rollup update, which fixed the first rollup stuff-up. And there have been more recent updates for 2000. |

| 631152 | 2008-01-17 04:40:00 | Speedy, I was going to use AutoPatcher 2000 August Core & Update releases. Do you foresee any problems there? |
