Hardware speed + Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Hi,

I'm a big puzzled with this. On my other machine (a P3 750) I've installed Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I also have Windows 2000 Pro on there too. Anyway. The thing I've noticed unless of course it's just my imagination is that Windows 2000 Advanced Server runs faster. So this brought me onto thinking could Microsoft of better optimized it for Server speed than the Pro version? Considering this expensive software one could believe such a thing and not be called an idiot right?

Now that computer has only 1 CPU, it's on a dual processor mobo though. Now has anyone else noticed this? Seems very interesting? It's like Win2k Adv. Server was compiled specifically for P3's and since Xeons are P3's this would make sense also.

Can someone eloborate on this?

I have another computer, dual processor this time and was wondering, should I use that as my main OS. Games still will work on it I think from time to time and maybe Microsoft put more attention into making it 101% fast and 101% stable.

Would be interested to see other peoples observations and comments on this.
