Hi Debbie,

Are you in Australia ?

No you would need a "loaded" P-IV to use as a W2K server with any number 
of Clients.  We run a P-III 500MHz with 1 GB memory and it servers 3 
clients !!! (Just to compare my Sun Ultrasparc 167 Mhz with 196 MB 
,server 19 clients) However you could put up 2, 3 or more W2K P-IIIs as 
an option.
