why do you want an obsolete o/s on your modern machine?
Wouldn't know (and doubt if many would) if your machine (and you haven't given enough details - eg, motherboard) will work with NT. Would be a case of try it and see - and may be a problem getting drivers even if it installs.
If its to run a specific app (or if you just want to try it out), you might want to consider installing XP or Vista on the machine and then using Virtual PC 2007 (its free from MS) to set up a virtual NT machine running inside XP or Vista. The Virtual PC drivers usually work ok, so NT should be fully functional this way.
