    I got my Compaq DeskPro P2 233MMX with Windows 95C and i reformat that thing like the world was going to end... Then I put 2000 Pro in it... Alot better.

    I installed it on 166. The first copy (from winnt.exe) took forever, but after that install was pretty quick. Once I was done, it started up faster than my frien'ds PC and a lot faster than at school (some of the teachers have 2000 machines).

    It worked for me, on DX4, but I used to have 64Megs! :)
  • nighticenightice
    When I ran it on 166 it had 64MB of memory.

    was that the one that you said that the trial would run out before it finished booting LOL
  • QQ
    It had 64MB too, and it was @ 120MHz, not 100MHz as (I think) DX4s are normally.

    -Q

    PS. Then again it WAS AS, so that might have done something :wink:

    Advanced Server should have nothing to do with it. It's all about the advanced networking featured and tools.

    And I've had 2000 on a 90 MHz. It loaded fine :-P You must have hardware errors.

    And lastly, the DX4 ranged from 75 MHz to somewhere around 180 MHz depending on what company you're referring to. AMD or Intel.
  • QQ
    It was a Cyrix DX2 that for some reason ran as a DX4 (NO idea).

    And didn't 2000(A/DC)S have IIS installed and running by default, or was that NT4?

    -Q
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    Uhhh.....

    What version of NT4? Server doesn't. And I never tried Terminal and I don't have the other version, it slips my mind at the moment.

    As for 2000, the regular 2000 doesn't.
  • QQ
    I knew there was some "default" setting to IIS in 2000 that gained it infamy, but it might not've been that.

    /me knows that the fastest 486 was AMD 5x86 133MHz
  • QQ
    Isn't that a PI compatible then?

    -Q
  • SlashSlash
    I think so. But that CPU was used in 486 motherboards, so we cannot say it's P1 or K5.

    i really hate people saying stupid things, ok first Windows 95 isnt a operating system it is a shell a program running in dos .. now in the windows 95 release you are using dos 7x, so dos is the operating system . and last but not lease windows 95 will operate on very old computers minimal requirments "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138349/en-us" ... :)

    And others have. Just because you/we do/don't have problems with things does not mean that that should be universal.
