i need to install some new hdwe in some of the pc's under my watch.
i have 3 running win98se with p4 celerons at 2.0 and lower [two i built] because of the win98 instability above 2.1 mhz.
i can get a good combo deal with a 2.8 cel and soyo mainboard but would rather use win 2000 to avoid cpu speed issues.
assuming that win 2000 is compatible with up to [how high?],
i believe i have the choice of intall with fat 16 or ntfs?
my coworker has used win 2000 before and says fat 32 is not an install option.
won't that limit my partitions to 2 gig on the hdd??
he says fat16 is far more stable than ntfs and would not recommend trying to use fat32.
xp is not an option as we have some software thats not compatible with it.
what recommendations, choices, pitfalls should i be aware of if i decide to put win2000 onto a upgraded soyo mainboard with a cel 2.8??
thankx,ray.
p.s. the units in need of upgrade a p2 400
