Gaming OS ?

What Operating System should i use? I mainly play games, and surf the web.

My choices are -
Windows XP Pro
Windows Server 2003 Standard
Windows Server 2003 Enterpise

I havent found any review in 2003 yet. So if any ones knows where they are. that would be helpful and according to micosoft Windows 2003 runs 2 to 3 tims faster then nt4 on the same hardware.


Defending AMD with your Stuff.

That's right... and why would one pay the extra $ to get a server O/S just for gaming.

What kinda "features" does XP have that 2000 doesnt have??

-=[ I was walking through the forest the other day and a tree fell behind me. I didn't hear a thing... Does that answer your question? ]=-

I actually like WinXP Pro but moved back to 2000 pro just because it's less of a footprint.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Win2000 doesn't have phukking cool interface like XP

are you [-peep-] kiddin me, the xp interface is damn gay / annoying! seriously. i'm stickin with win2000 until win2003 pro comes out for home use. plus win2000 is easier to network than xp, plus xp you have to register and can't use more than once which mean you have to pay if you wan tto put it on another comp. it's alltogether gay. plus it's not compatible with older programs / games. stick with win2000 man.

lol i agree that it is heterosexual. i try to spend as litle time using xp as possible. how exactly do you set it to look like win2k? i've fooled around in settings a bit on my friend's comp and set some things back to i think it was "classical view" but i could never get it all the way.

My XP looks and runs as much like win2000 as humanly possible. All my games that run on 2000 run fine on my XP.

And by the way, I haven't registered my versions of XP
(put 2 + 2 together, *clears throat*)

It's all good ^_^

XP=Gay

I've got a 2GHz laptop with a ati7000 runnin 98 and it works great. My buddy has the same exact laptop except his runs 2.8 and has a 9000. He runs XP and it sucks!! He can't play old DOS games nor does the latest DX9 game work right as well. Enter the matrix locks up on XP if you try to change anything in the config. Ever try to play a game on the defalt setting? It sucks! Works fine on mine with 98!

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

XP has serious problems on my rig, but I think it might be my motherboard. The problems sometimes occur under 98 as well, but get way worse if you install recent Via 4 in 1s. I think XP probably has a newer VIA driver than 98, which doesn't work properly with my (POS) motherboard. I'm pretty sure the motherboard has hardware problems too, though.
