Yipee ! Did It !!

[kyjet]

Hey all. I posted recently about installing Win2K on my M571 with Win98SE already installed. Well, I finally did it and it works great !

To recap, I have a M571 ver7a mobo with the latest flash, a PC133 128 mb ram, off board sound and vga card, old network card, old internal 56k modem, usb mouse, 2 Seagate 5200rpm 20gig hdd and AMD k6s 500 chip.

I used Partition Magic 6 to prepare a different FAT32 partition for Win2k and installed Booot Magic 6 for dual booting.

I can't believe everything went on so smoothly. I think it's even faster than installing Win98SE !


I didn't notice any performance related issues. I thought my pc will be slow but no difference compared to Win98SE.

Yipee, that was fun !

If you do some benchmarks, like winstone2001, you'll even find out that win2k is faster than win98 in business apps.

Congratulations!

Good to hear all went well.

I am sure will be impressed by its stability, games performance is low, but I'm guessing that if you are sticking with your AMD500 then that really isn't an issue.
