Windows 2000 Professional supports up to two <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/processors-606629" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROCESSORS">PROCESSORS</a> on a single computer.<br/>64 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum. 32 MB of RAM is the minimum supported. 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM is the maximum. <br/>A 2 GB hard disk that has 650 MB of free space. If you are installing over a network, more free hard disk space is required. <br/>VGA or higher-resolution monitor.<br/>Keyboard.<br/>Mouse or compatible pointing device (optional)<br/><br/>Straight from the Mothership.

Windows 2000 costs about $<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/1000-238376" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 1000">1000</a> new which is a bit less then XP.

Quote from: patio on September 24, 2009, 11:55:41 PM<blockquote>Excuse me ? ? ?<br/>Win2K = $1000 dollars ? ? ? ?<br/></blockquote> Typo, I meant $100 dollars. And XP normally sells for $20 more than 2K.</body></html>
