XP is optimized for the P4 and really, really good systems. I like it but wouldn't dare put it on my other, older comps. 98 SE works just fine on them. Some say 2000 is better though i've never tried it. :)

It works good on a fast computer. I still like Win2k though.
98se << least errors!... they actually put effort into makin it... wat about longhorn? wats the deal with that.... i don't follow the windows.... sigh... 2000 is hard enough already... well not really... just too much USERS >> i hate all this administration stuff, etc. folders.... so confusing...

Longhorn was suppose to be the SP3 of XP but since the alpha was leaked, they're going to make it a new version.

every new os is mostly just a service pack with a price tag. :D
i read sumwhere that longhorn is another os release but when it was leaked, MS got pissed so they cancelled sp3.

I have XP Pro installed on my "browser 'puter" that I use to surf with and test- software and games-, so I can experiment and not have to worry about losing any information. I experiment to the point of system failure so I can see what the OS is made of. Just format; install; and do it again & again...lol
It is a 3 yr old compaq:
PII-400MHz
320M of ram
4g hard-drive
1st of all, I can say that extra ram is a must!!
I cant believe people buy new 'puters with anything less than 512M of memory.
Anyway, after installation it was very buggy!!! downloaded and installed SP1....Wow....what a difference....finished getting all the updates and it ran great on this 'one legged vet'--- (its ok, I'm an ex jar-head). I was a 98SE die-hard; yes I tried the rest, wasn't for me; but will never go back now!!
XP gets my vote.
The only major difference I can see between home and pro are the networking capabilites...less buggy on pro.
Just my opinion,
Steve
-never upgrade-
always get a new comp if upgrade is a must.

Either way, lol, M$ is going to make some major bones with it to the gullible ones (even some of us might upgrade lol)
:teehee:
@kAb: That's what my dad thinks. It's a good idea when my dad tries to upgrade something though :lol: :P

XP is awsome, but you need a good spec to run it as its $hit and very slow on the older pc's with not much
Ram or $hit Processor. ;)

ya, id say if u dont have 512 ram, and at least a 1.2 ghz processor, just leave xp alone, it wouldnt be worth it prolly.
I have 512ddr, and a 2100xp,and its smooth as a baby ass.
gonna add another stick of 512 i think, cuz when i burn shit, eveyrthing else lags a bit.

Check out TweakXp (http://www.tweakxp.com). They have lots of tweaks that helps XP in more ways than one, especially performance wise. Just use the Tweak & Tip Database category to the left side. B)

I think getting a better computer is the only way this guy is going to be happy.
he is oviously looking for a BIG speed boost.
but try turning off all the fancy visuals at your system settings ;)

If you have a slow processor, don't even think about getting Xp, it's way too slow. Use win 98 or win 2K (and i prefer win 2K ...)
it all depends on the hardware you've got...
