If you want to check, go to http://www.nstl.com and download YMARK2000,
their Y2K hardware compliance checking software.

It will test your computer to see if it's clock will roll over to 1/1/2000
properly, it will check to see if your computer's clock will properly
recognize leap years in the 21st century properly (a little-discussed
problem).

Some computers have a problem with the date 'sticking'. Set the date to
1/1/2000. Shut the computer off for a minute, turn in back on, and check the
date. If you have the problem, the date will randomly advance to the year
2049.

The download also has some good information about what the problem really is
without all the media hype.
