FWIW, I am running a SoundBlaster Live (not Platinum) under both Win2k and
XP pro, and I have had no problems with it at all.  However, I have an older
Teac CD-R55S CD-R drive that will not function as a burner in either O/S
using Roxio or Nero software.  It is simply not supported, regardless of
firmware level or software revision.

I am considering buying a computer from a friend that has Win 2K
Professional installed.  I would like to install a Soundblaster Live
Platinum sound card and an ATI All-In-Wonder with video out AGP video card.
I have heard that NT based OS do not support multimedia activities as well
as ME.  We transfer video tape and burn many CDs of pictures of our
Grandbaby and our Nephews play video games and make CDs when they visit.
Should I install our version of Win ME or will the 2K stand up to the
multimedia tasks?  I hate to mess with the Win 2K when my friend says it
runs flawlessly, Lord knows I've had my battles with Win ME.
