One thing which is real easy to check and modify is the limit on the number of open files.
ulimit -n
will show the current limit for this.
ulimit -n xxxx
will set this to some new value.
Other limits are perhaps not so easily changed.
Considering how hard you are running things there might be some chance you are running into this limit.
I am curious however, why you are not running this on some version of Linux. Win2k may be a great improvement over win9x, but it is still a second rate OS. Cygwin is outstanding in those cases where there is no choice but to use windows. Linux is outstanding when you do have a choice.
