Thread: What does NT 4.0 Supports.

Hi, I'm now speculating that what maximum specs Windows NT 4.0 will support. Like more amount of ram, more size of hard drive which are been supported etc. Since I'm trying to set up a soon-to-be dedicated file server, for my home. But I unable to decided what can I make use of NT 4.0 or 2000.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

It will mainly support 4GB of RAM. (i.e. with the 32-bit limitation more than a NT 4.0 limitation). Possibly 137GB of hard drive space in the computer. It also depends upon the processor; I would also suggest you to 2K over NT 4.0... merely because of the native PnP support, DirectX support and over all better hardware support... particularly on newer hardware.

Thanks for the reply. I’m planning to make use it on Pentium 3 733mhz with 512 megs of ram. I was also considering of using the NT 4.0 since it desires very less of a computer. And because of this more system resources are made accessible when running Nt 4.0; I have the attention that I would be able to get better response times with my network traffic. Though I have an NT 4.0 CD as well as the 2000 CD, but do not have the XP CD for installation.

I would allow you to choose 2K on that machine rather then NT 4.0. With the 512MB of RAM, which you might actually may not notice it with the little additional overhead that 2K has over NT 4.0.

Ah, thanks for the advice. Though, I was merely finding out and I was not capable to find my Windows 2000 installation CD. Now I'm going to make use of the NT 4.0 in anticipation of I come across it.
