What PC can I use for installation?

[Guest]

All

I 've tried installing Win2K Advanced Server on a Micron Millennia XKU with a Pentium 450. I keep getting errors when I boot the PC post installation. Also tried installing on a Dell Optiplex GX260, but when I install ISA server, it has problems seeing the network cards. Is there a recommended box to install these two packages on that will work?
These two computers that I've tried are considered "desktops". Must I have a "server" to get a working install? And what's the difference

Please help
Brian

All,

I 've tried installing Win2K Advanced Server on a Micron Millennia XKU

with a Pentium 450. I keep getting errors when I boot the PC post
installation. Also tried installing on a Dell Optiplex GX260, but when I
install ISA server, it has problems seeing the network cards. Is there a
recommended box to install these two packages on that will work?

These two computers that I've tried are considered "desktops". Must I

have a "server" to get a working install? And what's the difference?
