I rather go for a XP one but it seems like the drivers inside isn't enough and it is not fully debug.. Quite stable though... But Win 2000 is kinda the most stable driver in the world so I think I may get both on my PC.

By the way, can I install Win 98, Win 2000 and Win XP on same machine?

I'd go with 2000, and yes you can to your last question.

also in insist on using XP, i have achived a higher overclock with cpu when booting into XP, also it has allowed a higher stable overclock with my video card also.

2000=1530mhz 10x153 turbo cas2 video card @200/465 using dx 8 and 2183 drivers =5212 3dmarks

Xp=1580mhz 10.5x150 turbo cas 2 video card@230/465, using dz 8.1 and 2250 drivers =6022 3dmarks

I know dx and 2250 added a bit but my fps was faster with XP at 200/400 then 2000@200/465, bout 5 FPS more

XP

If you turn off all the gee-whiz bang and flash along w/ unneeded services I found it to be much faster than 2k.

Oh yea, disable the remote assistance nonsense. Mayb good for people who can barely use MS word, but for us its a system hog and potential security hazard.

If you really want to be safe, wait for SP1
