Hi, does anyone know if there are any articles about WinXP vs Win98SE in gaming and application benchmarks?

Personally, after having spent a few months with WinXP, and several years with Win98 ... I couldn't be enticed to switch back. But if I was going to run older games that required DOS, I'd just dual-boot, and run an OS on separate hard drives.
