Which is best for gaming?
Currently have Windows 2000 Pro on my regular everyday boot drive and 2000 as well for a secondary "bare bones" boot drive for gaming.
Current system has two gigs of good ram, maybe will buy a 3rd. Gonna upgrade the CPU and Video card. MB is an Asus A8N-E, with an AMD 64 3800+ and Asus EN7800GTX video card. Thinking to go with the highest end single core CPU and an Asus EN8800GTX. Anyway, with that purchase along with a few other things I can get an OEM copy of Windows XP Pro for a good price.
Any real difference between Windows 2000 and XP Pro after you disable all the overhead? Does XP Pro offer better performance in terms of a bare bones, low overhead, gaming system?
...assuming both have all the updates.
I've not been able to find any good answers in searching the net.
Thanks
