Anubis, here's the dilly on 2k.For what you want to do I would run win2k Professional. Server is mainly meant to handle more background tasks, and system services, then to actually be used as a workstation....don't get me wrong you can use it like that, but you would be better off using win2k prof. Also for the dual processor bit. the way 2k uses the 2 CPU's is in multitasking and stuff that multi-thread....I don't know too much about it, but it's not like having 2 500's and it be like a 1Ghz.
Dual Booting: I personally would setup a dual boot with WinME for compatibility with some progs. It doesn't support 2 CPU's, but as aventari said it will just use the one. Setting up the dual boot is very simple compared to NT 4.0. Just install WinME in a 1.5-2 gig partition at the BEGINNING of the drive then put in the Win2k cd and choose clean install...and Bam you're done.
), but Win2k recommends having dual boot with Win98 or WinMe for "optimum compatibility." I know that these don't support dual processors (or does WinMe?) and if they don't, can I even have them installed? Or will they only use of processor while the other is in standby or whatever?
