    this PC can run XP easily (and says so in the quote), so why would you want W2K on it?

    as to whether you should get anything more fancy - the age old question comes up - what do you plan on doing with it? in respect to the 8 year old PC, this one is a monster.

    then this PC will be all right. Watching HD movies might get a little laggy, but otherwise, it will suffice.

    For what you pay for that pc, you could get a good used dell.

    Oh, yeah, it'll run 2000 fine. XP isn't much different, but I have noticed that some stuff you might want to try, don't support it. Google's Chrome browser is an example, but it depends on what applications you have.

    What do you do with your system now? Is there anything that you're looking for in terms of improvement?
