Rubbish. A beta (Beta 3, IIRC) of W2k ran just as well on my machine (PII-300, 64 MB RAM) as NT 4 does. I had just as much free memory available as I do now, and everything ran just as fast as it does now. Once in a while it would slow down for a couple seconds - I suspect it was something to do with caching - but other than that it ran nicely. I am no longer using W2k, but it has nothing to do with performance.
