Xp Vs 2000

[LTJBukem]

I should have mentioned that i have NT executive paging disabled, so core windows system is run from memory rather that paged to disc. Also, i have recently clean installed, and have not yet made the visit to black vipers site to turn off all the unnecessary services.

Livy. I hear what you're saying, and on a budget system 2000 would be the best bet. But otherwise, when ram is so cheap, is it a consideration?

EDIT:- smilie >

Also, looking now. With Halo running, and KazaaLite, i still have 400mb of spare ram.

mines is an xp system aint exactly class, 1500 athlon xp, 320mb ram, ati 64mb mobility, its a laptop, i like xp better than 2k, its just the icons looks etc and things. i had xp on my desktop, 550mhz amd k6-2, with 256mb ram, it was just a little to laggy. its got 2k on the now, but ive yet to get round to tweaking it. but it runs perfect on that

Woh wait stop here

15seconds to start up on xp? 45 sec to start up on 2k?????

Dude takes me 5 min to start up on 2k!!!!!!

But nothing's worse then slow start ups i hope my new computer will start up 2k fast......
