On monday I installed windows XP final and just today I had time to sit down and really give it a try. I am disapointed in the preformace of xp on everthing except for games. It makes my system feel like it has 12mb of RAM insteld of 512. It takes me a long time to burn CD's now and it seems to lock up a lot more than Win 2k ever did. I was just wondering if part of the lockups and instability would be due to XP drivers not being released? I thought that XP would be using 2k drivers but correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for your help guys.

XP has run fine for me... As stable as 2k.. are you sure your installation went ok? and that everything was set up?

Exact reverse for me.

WinXP Final is zippy everywhere BUT in games. (Quake3 FPS on a Voodoo3 dropped from 56FPS on my dualy to 33FPS :()
I have noticed a little instability, but I think it's due to my file system...
Nothing random, but every crash I have experienced ("XP") has taken down the OS with it (Except IE6's damn error reporting crap, and a SETI incompatability).
