Have you checked if you even can get drivers for 2000. Im just asking because my brother had a similar old laptop and the only OS they supported was 98

That configuration is the absolute minimum required for Win2k, performance would be terrible, go for windows 98.

There's performance configuration on Win2k?

Because for me it's really slow espcally when i'm trying to start my computer

98 is not very safe.. dont use it for your banking matters or buisness.
Microsoft doesnt fix the newly discovered holes in 98.. and alot of people still use it.
