Yes, you can install 2000 PRO. But you should have more RAM.
Good Luck

It'll work fine.
My wifes PC is an 8 year old P3 500, only upped the RAM to 384 due to her photo editing requirements.

Alright great!
When I get the disk, ill reformatt the drive.
Should I stick to FAT32 or go with NTFS? I dont wanna delete the partion because this is a gateway.

If deleting the partition, will it delete the BIOS?

Nope, BIOS is located on a chip within the computer.
BIOS is NOT located on your HD.

Ok I got a 2000 Server CD and is installed on my computers.
Server seems very different from my average OS because it runs on networks, etc.
I dont wanna run it on a network, I just wanna use it as a normal OS like 98,XP, etc
