I'm not saying Windows 2000 is impossible, but it's not supported. The drivers and installers are written for XP (SP2) or Vista. You can't buy XP
anyway, unless you're getting it pre-installed with 'downgrade rights' on new Vista Business or Vista Ultimate PC. And those disks probably
won't work. So unless you have an unused XP disk lying around somewhere, or know someone who does, Microsoft makes it Vista or the highway.
sweno's makes a good point about the RAM; we frequently buy RAM from Crucial or some other vendor... just mind how many slots the Mac has so you don't
unintentionally end up discarding memory to upgrade. Also, not sure about the latest models, but replacing the hard drive on some of the laptops is like
cracking a safe. Good times.
I wonder if Cedega would run under OS X. It'd be nice not to have to reboot. For what it's worth, CodeWeavers Crossover claims to run City of Heroes on
both OS X and Linux. But I haven't tried that either.
