As usual, Microsoft's minimum requirements don't cut it.  A full install 
of Win2000 will use around 500 MB of drive space (not counting the 
pagefile), and realistically, will need 128K of system memory to run.  
The P-MMX 200 Mhz is fine but may be a bit too slow if doing a lot of 
multi-tasking or CD burning.

Here's the MS mins:  64K of memory, 133 Mhz Pentium CPU, 2 gb hard disk.

Preferred: 128K of memory, 200 Mhz Pentium Pro, 2 gb hard disk (same)
