WHICH IS THE BEST WINDOWS FOR GAMING??

if it wasnt for the fact it kept crashing id say 98se.
xp hasnt been running long enough to say if it is better. so far so good thou 2000 if you know what your doing with it can edge out 98. but for ur everyday gamer? id say go with 98 is cheaper dont have to work at it.
2000 if you know what you are doing with the operating system.
xp if your me

windows for workgroups rawks!!!!!!

ignore everything i say

It largely comes down to personal preference and your machine. Windows 98SE/Me are probably best performance wise but obviously Windows 2000/XP are more stable. If you have plenty of RAM (or money to get more) and a good system, I would suggest XP. RAM is a bit of an issue if you don't have heaps because 2K/XP has more crap sitting there from the word go. Under Win Me I was usually amoungst the first into the next level playing Counter Strike but under XP I'm about middle to the end of the group. This is with 256MB of RAM, I would get more with it being so cheap but 2 of my 3 mobo slots are stuffed
So in short I would suggest:
High end machine with heaps of RAM -> XP
Mid range machine -> Me or 98SE

I read a post somwhere here about 2 months ago that said Win 2000 is not the best for gamers. If you use your machine for mostly gaming, 98se or ME is best. HOWEVER...I also read that win ME is really an optimised version of 98se.

A reminder, this is not my opinion, I only read this. I run win ME and it runs fine for me.
