Running Windows® 2000 on Advantech SBCs

The well publicized Windows® 2000 operating system is becoming increasingly more common across all hardware platforms. To ensure there are no underlying issues concerning this OS, Advantech has been testing Windows 2000 compatibility for use on Advantech Embedded Computing Group products (Panel PCs and SBCs).

Windows 2000 is built on Windows NT technology that uses a familiar Windows 98 user interface. Microsoft has defined minimum system requirements for running Windows 2000. These requirements are as follows:

1. A 133 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU

2. Minimum 64 MB of RAM recommended.

At first, Advantech will only test the CPU boards (and system products like PPCs) which meet these minimum requirements. This testing involves the following criteria:

  • Successful installation of Windows 2000 operating system
  • Onboard device compatibility
  • HCT 9.0 System Stress test

Advantech ECG Products Already Passed

The following Advantech products passed the Windows 2000 Professional compatibility test:

  • PCA-6751
  • PCA-6752
  • PCI-6771
  • PCM-9570B
  • PCM-9574
  • PPC-123/153
