Subject: OT: Operating systems and chips

  Sorry for the off-topic, but I think this is interesting for people here, in
order to make decisions.
  I've recently bought a Athlon 1.3 (1Gb RAM). I want to create a huge book for
my program. I wanted to install Win2000 Server with SQL Server 2000, but some
friends have told me Win2000-Athlon don't work properly. It's a lot of money, so
I want to be sure. They say that if you run intensive cpu tasks, the system
don't respond for a long time.
  I'd like to hear opinions and alternative suggestions. It could be worth to
try Linux (they say 'MySQL' is free and works fine), but I'm not used to Linux.
Maybe WinNT works better than Win2000?
  This is not a commecial post at all. I just need advice.
  BTW, apart from this database task, I'll use the computer mostly for chess...
So not that OT ;)
