Yes it will. You have the specs for it. If you liked Win2K, you might want to consider XP Pro. Home edition is very limited for networking. Good Luck When all is said and done More is said than done..

"Home edition is very limited for networking" No it isn't. XP Home can't join a domain. Other than that, its networking capabilities are basically identical to XP Pro (and 2k). Unless you have something specific in mind that 2k can do but XP Home cannot?
