It seems that every1 gets slightly different results. I get almoust no fps difference in 2000 compare to 98.
Just ry it, I'm sure if you loose a fr\ew frames but gain stability, you will like 2000.

Don't worry. There are neglegable performance hits. You acutally gain a little performance in business apps/desktop performance with windows 2000.
If you/anyone are undecided between Win2k & WinMe, read here.. Win2k is the best..

once the final of DX 8 is out too you should start seeing w2k out performing ME and 9x. Whistler already does so its only a matter of time before 2k takes over.

OP
Great, so far I really like windows 2000. Anyone know when DX 8 final is due out for windows 2000?
Thanks again for the advice, falcon26
