filmscanners: Win2K system requirements

[Eli Bowen <elbow@microsoft.com>]

        I would not run Win2K with a 100 MHz CPU if that is what Ironworks
was asking. If it worked at all it would be horribly slow. Microsoft
recommends a minimum of 133 MHz CPU.

        As for bus speed, I am not aware of any minimum, but if there is a
minimum, I'm sure it is less than 133 MHz.

        This is all that is posted on the Win2K System Requirements page
(for the Professional version)(
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/guide/professional/sysreq/default.asp
):  

"133 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU. 
64 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum; more memory generally improves
responsiveness. 
2GB hard disk with a minimum of 650MB of free space. 
Windows 2000 Professional supports single and dual CPU systems."   


        If you want to know if a particular computer is Win2K compliant, you
can try this page:

Does Win 2K require a 133mHz motherboard bus?  Can WIN 2K run on a 
Celeron system CPU which uses a 66mHz bus?
