| 158488 | 2003-07-16 05:22:00 | Well, If you're running an AMD Athlon XP Processor,then there is noticable performance gains with WinXP, but from experience, Win2K has always been more stable, mainly because WinXP was "Built on the proven stability of Windows 2000", so its built on it, but Im positive its not as good as it. Its candied up a lot to make it look more visually appealing, but I can also say safely that after spending the past 2 weeks in RedHat without booting into Doze, XP still looks rather bad! So, what are your system spec's for starters? Personally.. at the moment.. I would gear towards Win2K until you can tell what exactly you're hoping to do etc. :-) Cheers Chill. |

Well, that does look a little out of date, seeing as RedHat released version 7.3, then 8.0, now onto 9 :-) There is a fix for the SP slowing down WinXP out there on microsoft.com also. Win2K can be made to look a lot more visually appealing with the use of Windows Blinds, and other things from the stardock.com range. I would prefer using Windows Blinds to make the System look smoother over Windows XP! Windows XP is becoming more "mature" in saying that like Win2K is, but it is certainly more "buttered up" for the end user, and those wizards are nothing but a pain in the @$$ after using Win2K for a while, and to then come to that! And in saying that, Win2K was supposed to be microsoft's "Gaming" OS.. it didnt start off too well, but with the release of the first and second Service Packs, saw many people realising the stability etc over Win9x. There's my second spiel for the afternoon, hope its helped ;-) |
