Win2k is actually very good for games, nVidia have decent driver support (keeping up with the home o/s releases), directX is kept up to date, and most modern games will run on it fine - the only one I've ever had a problem with is Commandos, but I found a patch to get that running on 2000 anyway.

I thought W2000 was geared towards networks and businesses, and not towards running games.
I'm sure developers will soon take advantage of the P4's features.

Not really much good without the others...but yeah, that list should do you. Work out which parts you want to focus on most - I need this machine for games mainly, I have another for multimedia stuff, so I cut down on DVD drive, sound card etc..

256mb
TNT Pro 63 Video Card
Soundblaster Creative
40gig hard drive
And I have zero problems with it.
