I'm currently running 2000 Pro and it's working fine. I'm looking to upgrade the computer and I'll be going from 1/2 gig ram to about 2 gig ram. I've been told that 2000 won't use that much ram, so it'll be a waste.
I don't want to upgrade the OS without a good reason, so how much ram will 2000 pro use. My current mem usage runs in the 200~450K range
I really don't want to upgrade to a new OS that'll just be a mem hog and XP requires that you buy a copy for each hard drive that you install it on, I have 2000 installed on about 4 hard drives (for backup) and don't want to mess with an upgrade that won't really do me any good.
The target system will probably be a dual core with 2 gig ram.
