I am pretty sure that you do not have enough RAM to install W2000 or W2003. You may
want to check the requirements for those OS. Depending what you are going to use
the machine for, I would recommend using XP and not W2003. W2003 is geared for enterprise
servers and not desktops or laptops.

I'm in agreement. The idea of using a Server OS in a non-server environment doesn't
make much sence.
Windows 2000 Requirements
* 350 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU.
*96 to 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum; more memory generally improves
responsiveness.
*4GB hard disk with a minimum of 1GB of free space.
Windows XP Requirements
*233 MHz CPU
*64 MB of RAM (may limit performance and some features)
*1.5 GB of available hard disk space *
