Motherboard Question

kgeissler
I am going to be upgrading the motherboard and CPU on my computer. Right now I am running Win2000. Do you think it would be OK to just swap the motherboard and cpu and boot up? Or do you think there will be problems with the HAL? Any ideas? TIA.

NT compatibility.....?

mozzer
This site is still called NT compatible, but all the new harware / games / apps are only listed with W2K compatibility. What about those of us still using NT4? We would quite like to know if a game runs under NT, you know.

Is it possible to install Win2k OS via Network ?
