Dilemma: Win 2000 Or XP ?

[UVnet]

I own a 2.8Ghz Pentium 4 CPU, a P4S8X ASUS mainboard and a Radeon 9700 Pro Video Card.
My question is:
Which operating system is better for me???
My main use of my comp is for gaming and I personally like the interface of win 2000 more than that of WinXP.
Will games truely run faster on winXP ???

I like Win2k for gaming. I am primarily a gamer and I find Win2k able to run any of the games that I play without any problems. It's very stable. I am not a big fan of XP and I don't believe it will offer much more in terms of gaming performance.

If you think of the support time that's left between Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and you want to get the most out of it, you should really get Windows XP.

There's a few options to turn this off. In <i>Display Properties</i>, you can change the Appearance options for <i>Windows and Buttons</i> to <i>Windows Classic Style</i>. You can use <i>ClearType</i>, which makes things pretty clear. Also, if you like the old Start Menu, after right-clicking the taskbar, you can see that you can change back to the classic Start Menu.

Also, Windows XP is just made to support more hardware and software. For future upgradability, you should use Windows XP over Windows 2000.

Those are my two cents. If you can get Windows 2000 for free or something like that, I'd rather go for that.
