I have an old Toshiba Tecra 8000, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to upgrade from windows 98 to 2000. What do you think?
 
Solution
from a networking standpoint 2000 is better (better TCP/IP)
but i wouldn't recommend 2000 on that, because it only has 128MB of ram. while it meets the requirements for it, doing much at all would cause it to hit the pagefile a lot.

Usually newer versions of windows run better on older systems.
