Which OS for gaming,VCD making home user?

[jediphx]

I have both Win2k pro and WinXP pro to choose from


AMD 1800+ XP
Epox 8K7A (latest bios)
512 megs PC2100
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128 meg
80 gig Maxtor ata-100
40 IBM ata-100
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Promise ultra100tx2
and other odds and ends

Some people say Win2k is not as good as winxp for gaming and is slower, some people say opposite. Anyone have any real world recent comparisons also? Thx

Not real recent, but I upgraded from Win2k to XP when it was RC1 and haven't gone back to Win2k, both are perfectly acceptable, stable OS's for what you want to do. I prefer XP for a multi-user environment, it boots faster and handles dual monitors better, but I can't remember any deal breakers with 2K and its a fair-shot better than any 9x OS.
