What OS?
« on: December 24, 2001, 02:18:28 PM »
I have the following computer:

PIII 450
512 megs ram
60 gig 7200 RPM Drive
Sound Blaster Live Value card
12x10x32x burner
Nvidia GeForce II MX 400 64M

What OS should I use? I have all of them. I currently use Windows 2000 Professional.

Should I use something different. I mainly just do gaming, and web page designing.

Go with XP Pro. If not XP, then stick with 2000 Pro.

Depends on what\'s on your other PC\'s I guess.  I like to always have a win9x machine somewhere.  Whether it\'s the odd program that needs it, or cause you need a drive with FAT/FAT32 on it instead of NTFS (on win2k/winxp I use NTFS instead of FAT32), it comes in handy.

I would use Windows 2000 SP2/NTFS. From experience, win2k is faster than XP, and possesses alot less security holes.
If you like the eye candy, go with XP after service pack 1 is released. You know it takes M$ a while to get things almost right
