Windows 2000 Professional is faster and more stable than any other version of Windows. The user interface is similar, so converting a user from other versions of Windows requires minimal re-training. The biggest risk you may have is compatibility with your existing applications.

Windows 2000 requires 64-128MB of RAM, 10GB of hard drive and at least a Pentium II 400 to run acceptably. “Older” hardware usually indicates less capability than the minimums we suggest. Please note that our minimum recommendation is greater than the Microsoft suggested minimums. Further, we know that many older machines require hardware-level drivers that make the Windows 2000 upgrade difficult. Therefore, we don’t recommend upgrading older hardware with Windows 2000, but do recommend Windows 2000 on new hardware purchases.
