windows 2000

[talldude123]

i am thinking of "downgrading" to windows 2000 SP4, and i was wondering if windows 2000 supports my Linksys Wireless-B PCI adapter. Windows XP has its own wireless manager, but i dont know if windows 2000 does??


thanks in advance...

Why on earth would you want to downgrade to 2000?

xp is really buggy on my machine, most of the time my system lags horribly, and i need more memory to run flash, photoshop, etc.

i have every OS, except for Vista, and i have found windows 2000 to run the best, out of every OS, including Linux.

edit:

this is what i want:
an operating system that has similar look to XP, but uses way less memory

i imagine there are skins for windows 2000, that make it look like XP, with the blue start bar, etc..

if you want a similar look to xp maybe try linux it uses less memory, I know there are versions that are skinnable. But what ever you do don't use a program like windowblinds on win 2000 because it will lag like **** and use more memory than xp.

so im better off just using windows xp service pack 1 maybe?

i would just disable some of the windows programs in services.msc

save some ram there and msconfig some too.

plus ram is so dirt cheap these days i would just pick up another stick if you have a open slot.

well the thing is, i had a 256 MB RAM chip, but it broke, made the system run unstable, even though it was the same type as the 512 MB chip i have right now.
