You caould also suspect improperly installed Office 2000 install or faulty
drivers/BIOS for the SCSI Drives, RAID Controller, Motherboard, NIC...

You absolutely MUST add more RAM (4GB total is good) to this machine, if you
plan on running these kind of apps with more than 25 or so concurrent users,
as only 1/2 of the installed RAM is available to user processes.
