I will confirm, Windows 2000 on a Pentium 100 works pretty well (for
Windows 2000 anyway) if you upgrade the RAM to 64M.  Even MS Office 2000
on the same box is surprisingly responsive.

I dunno if I have any 486's left to play with, and I dare not try it on
the 386's that are here.  But I have this ancient HP server with a
Pentium 60 in it and a 6GB RAID...
