Re: Win2000 on new build?

Greetings,

I have been running Win2k sp4 on an old BH6 board with
Celeron Coppermine cpu on my pc at home for years and years.

It's about time to build a new pc.

For reasons I won't go into, I do not wish to license MS
WinXP. I am not a Linux person.

To what extent might it be practical to build a new pc to
run W2k if one is willing to live with older technologies
(pata/IDE hard drives, etc)?

System usage would be pretty much garden-variety: Email,
web browsing, word processing, a little number-crunching,
etc.

Proposed system would be, say, P4 cpu (1.8 - 2.2 ghz) on
a medium-priced board (yet to be identified).

Would hope to run most/all of the following:
    2 pata/IDE hard drives
    USB 2.0 (for DSL, etc)
    W2k sp4
    AVG
    Spybot
    Kerio
    Office 2k
    IE6

Any/all thoughts on such a proposition would be much
appreciated.

  Cheers,
  Peetie
