Well I am not using the same hardware but the hardware of my server is a
dual PII Xeon 450 2mb cache per CPU with 1GB RAM, custom build. And it
has run MySQL and PHP 4.2.x flawlessly (until I create something that
makes it crash).
Best thing to do is always make sure that you have the latest
windows updates, you can get them the same was as with WinXP and Win9x
just head to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com other then that make
sure you know what is being put on the server. Barring all that you
really shouldn't have any problems with Win2k IIS5 & PHP with either
security or stability.
