Ok here is the situation. I got a new laptop the other day. It is a gateway200ARC that came with winxp pro. The fist thing I'm doing is wiping the HD because it has all this crap that I will never use. My question I have is should I install Winxp or W2K. The gateway website has drivers for my laptop for XP or W2K so getting the correct drivers is not a problem. This will also dual boot with linux. It is not a gaming machine, thats what my desktop is for. The machine will be used for movies, web stuff, and WIFI. I've never used XP but have gotten mixed reviews from people who have. Is it as big of a resource hog as people say?How much more resources does it use over W2K? What advanages over W2k does it have? In other word why should I put Xp on this machine over W2k.


Thanks
