AMD stopped supporting Windows 2000 several years ago, so video and
chipset drivers aren't available for the board.

Thanks,

That is about what I figured. I didn't know if the XP drivers would
work for Windows 2000 since they are fairly close. I bought a
recycled XP Pro retail upgrade package so I guess I've got that
covered now, and will be able to use the board without buying an
nVidia video card or learning Linux.
