XP vs 2k Game Performance

pmistry
I wanted to know if you guys are getting pretty much the same performance in games with both OSes. List off some games, and tell me your RAM, CPU, Sound, and Video Card combination. How many of you get better performance in XP? Less performance? or Identical? I get worse.

hughess7
Any one had any luck getting 'Who wants to be a Millionaire 2nd Ed' to work under XP? Installs and loads the game but crashes the PC once you have entered your players name and it tries to load the rest of game.

Keyboard lag in NFS 3

Zaragon
Anyone else having keyboard lag problems? It's not the frame rate or the drawing speed, the game seems really smooth and runs fast. It's just like a delay between when I push a key and get a response.
