So you say that installing NT 4 Server will cause no trouble connecting with the other comp on Win98SE (of course connection already is with NetBUI)? BTW does anyone know the resource needs of Win2k? NT takes 45MB, what about Win2k? XP is assumed to need 75MB. I have 320MB RAM but is there a need to waste 30MB RAM just for XP?? Does it reduce the speed as I fear or doesn't it make any significant differences? > >>Or should I better take Win2000 because with this >>system it will work and connect with Win98SE? > >Isn't Win2000 just a NT5 ?
