My experience is that performance on Windows 2000 is terrible. We ran the
windows version of RT on a Dual-450 with 256MB of RAM and the mysqld alone
was using 700MB of memory (and we just started using it a week ago).
Needless to say, I've just deployed a Linux version today for our office and
we are up and running on it. mysqld on Linux is utilizing just 2.5% of 256MB
of memory right now.

I would strongly encourage you to partner with one of your more experienced
Linux users and run RT on Linux.
