If I could get ahold of Windows XP RC2, would there be any problems with drivers? I would like to run win XP but I'm not sure whether or not there would be any driver conflicts. My system is new with a MSI k7 Master mobo, Leadtek Geforce 2 GTS Pro and 1.33Ghz T-bird. I am currently running win2k. Thanks

Iam running the RC2 release of XP. I have found the drivers for 2000 function just fine with XP. Had to change my GF2 video drivers from 98 to 2000 for correct resolution.

I want to die like my Grandfather...in my sleep...not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Hey Tibou -

XP RC2 is cake. Just make sure your internet connection is up and insert the disk: you will be given the option to check compatibility before you begin and XP will alert you to any potential software or driver conflicts. I suggest using the "upgrade" path, assuming you are running 2000 now, until you get the hang of it. beyond that nothing you mentioned in your hardware profile looks troublesome.

XP is a GAS:)
