I have W2K installed with my ATI all-in-wonder and Soundblaster live platinum and everything works great. Make sure you get the CD and license for the W2K though, if he's selling you the computer with the OS installed, then he should give you the OS CD and license as well. Also, make sure you have the Administrator password so you can boot the thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Parrothead B&B" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 5:01 AM Subject: Win 2K Professional Hi Everyone, 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. All suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.
