Windows 2000 and gaming

Is 2000 pro good for gamers? or should I stay with XP Pro

[reverse]

Works great.

I'm very hard core into gaming, esp online FPS. I preferred 98SE over 2K, but I now use XP Pro....love it. Just have the horsepower to run it, at least a mid level PIII, and 512 megs.

2000 i save 52megs of ram
2000 hasnt froze in a game yet
2000 apps load quicker

than xp pro

Hmmm, apps load WAY quicker in XP for me, especially once you use it for over a month, and it "learns" which apps you use, and optimizes them.

XP doesn't lock up at all for me, but neither did 2K, and neither did 98SE.

Win2K was built to primarily be a business operating system first, not multimedia, XP has it all.

RAM use, yes, it's more, and more CPU hungry too. But thankfully RAM and CPUs are dirt cheap these days.

XP Just came out, still lots of bugs

2000 = older
