I argee with Tina, I've got Win2k on my UK L110 and it runs fine. At least with Win2k
the hibernate & suspend works everytime, unlike Win95/98...
My Lib uses about 3% CPU (average) when idle and has about 19mb (average) of ram free.

Actually, I've got Win2k on my L110 -- no overclocking,
64 MB of RAM -- and I'm really happy with it. I've installed
Professional and turned off all the crap I don't want
running, but haven't done anything more complex than that.
At this very moment, I have a dial-up connection to the
Internet, and an SSH client (putty) connected to my Linux
server. I'm using about 5% of the CPU, and 50 MB of RAM.
Not an efficient operating system, but perfectly usable
for the sorts of things I do -- and a >hell< of a lot more
stable than Win98.
I would happily upgrade my L1100 to Win2k as well, but haven't
been able to find drivers for the Smart Media slot which I use
all the time, alas.
