If you want to check for compatability - go into the Microsoft wedsite - under Win 2K, you should find a program that you can download and run on your machine. I think it's called Win 2000 compatability analyser - anyway it checks your hardware configuration and lists any problems you might have.
 
As a rule of thumb, check the websites of the producers of every piece of hardware you have - they usually list whether or not they're compatible with Win 2K. I know this may take some time, but it's the only way to be completely sure.
 
If you want to check the compatibility of games, then you'vealready found the best site, simply check the Games subsection under compatability (which is on the menu to the right of the home page) there you will find all games tested thus far and whether or not they're compatible with Win 2K.
