[rescue] Flying Pigs - OT WIN2K speed

[Zach Malone]

(Moved to geeks)
Win 2k is fairly fast, outside of a couple things.  I have it running on a
dual P3 box, and it is very stable, I have never had a full crash in the
length of time that I have owned this machine, but partial crashes, where
you end up needing to logout are fairly common.  Speed wise, with the
exception of the IE FTP client flakiness, it is a very fast OS, and very
snappy.  Hope that helps.
