So, I'm thinking couldn't I just pop Win2000 on the Asus?

I don't see why not - the Asus does ship with a CD that contains all the windows drivers for the hardware, but I know that's aimed at XP so you may need to do some digging to get to the stuff for 2000.
Of course if you're going to slap that memory hungry OS on it you may want to upgrade the RAM to as much as you can squeeze in there.

Hi everyone.I bought the EE PC a coouple of weeks ago
& am very pleased with it,very easy to use.
Have thought about upgrading the Ram but,was told by the
place I got it ( YO_YO Tech in the Tottenham Ct Rd ) That it invalidates
the warranty,so,will consider this.
Price by the way was £219.00
Am going to Morocco on my bike this week so,will be interesting to see
how it performs
Cheers Paul

Would be really interested in hearing how it plays out whilst in Morocco - a good on the road report would be read with much interest here I suspect!
Re upgrading the RAM - Asus have now announced that they are going to honour all warranties even if you break the seal on the RAM cover... see here

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
