What is better Win2K or WinXP?

CyberGenX
I just wanted to start some mud flying. My OPINION is that Windows 2000 SP2 with IE6 and DirectX 8. 1 is the choice OS these days. uh uhmmm. . At least until Lindows OS is at 1. 1 or so. .

XP on systems below minimum

whoisit
I just installed XP Pro on a Pentium 133 with 64MB of RAM (box minimum states Pentium II 233 with 128MB). It still boots to the login screen within 30 seconds but login takes forever. Most apps do not run very well but they work.

Dual 2k drives imaged w/ Ghost 2nd drive won't boot

videobruce
I really don't know just how to explain this. I have 2 bootable drives with 2k on each. The second is a image of the first done using Ghost. I've done this before, but this time the drives are hooked up to a Highpoint controller which, I assume is causing the problem.

Weird DVD skipping problem

Dazultra2000
It's been happening for a while now, but whenever I watch a DVD, it'll play fine for about 5 minutes, and will then skip ahead 2-3 seconds. This then repeats throughout the entire film. While it doesn't seem like much, it can often mean missing an important part of dialog, and it can ruin the whole film.
