Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Win XP or 2000?

I dual boot 98 and XP, I did this incase XP turned out to not be as reliable/compatible as I hoped it would be. I havent touched 98 in months.I have been running XP for months now...6 months or more. I had a hacked version of XP professional before XP even came out. I 've never had a driver problem, it's never crashed, I havent found anything that wasn't compatible that I couldn't live without. The resource stuff is bunk...turn off unused services. My 700mhz duron system is up and running in 20 seconds or less.

2K Professional. Its built on the rock solid NT architecture.

As a video editor, neither my Avid nor Premiere systems have crashed under the weight of some serious graphics, transitions, etc.

Thanks folks. Great info!

I have a copy of 2000 Pro so I will just use that. Matter of fact XP is the only OS I don't have at the moment.

Maybe after the first service pack is released (couple months) I might try XP...

Which is what XP is based off.

Yeah, so is XP. Not only that, XP (professional) offers dual CPU support, and pretty much everything Win2k SERVER offers. It's a no brainer IMO. Turn off all the in your face stuff...and you're set. Not to mention the better hardware support, build in CDRW support, etc. Just a more robust OS. I can't say win2k has ever crashed on me, but I have had MANY software issues.
