System Resources under Win2000
Under W98, you could check your system resources (in a percentage) very easily using System Information. How can I do that under Win2K? Does W2K have the same limitations as W98 for system resouces? I have 350MB RAM, but I was always limited to the number of programs that I could run under W98 due to limited resources. Is that still a problem with W2K?
No, it isn't, which is why there's no way to find out the free system resources. Win2K does still have some limits on resources, but for all practical purposes you'll be out of memory before you reach them, even on a system with as much RAM as you've got.

leew: The System Monitor does a similar job to Performance Monitor under Win98, but it's a considerably less powerful tool.
I am aware of System Monitor and use it on my one Win98 box. But when you look at what Performance Monitor can do and what System Monitor can do, but the logging, alerts, counters for everything from CPU to Network usage, I don't consider System Monitor to be in the same class as System Monitor. (Ok, so that could be a little personal arrogance on my part...)
I *did* say System Monitor is a considerably less powerful tool--however, I'd consider it to be the same class of application because it displays similar data (free memory, CPU usage, network bytes transmitted, etc).
