Win 2k or XP for HL2?

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

Hey all I made several searches and didn't find any threads with this subject...

For the sole purpose of playing HL2 what do you guys think is the best OS, 2k or XP?

I myself are running Windows 2000 because I thought XP messed up too easily. :dozey:

PS: Dont flame if I make some spelling or gramma mistakes because this is not my main language (I am danish), and its very late I'm about to go to bed :cheers: :afro: :naughty:

Don't worry. Your grammar and sentence structure is more coherent than most of the responses on here.

XP pro

The only OS that has a ctrl+alt+del function that works...

Feel free to argument why you are going to use that OS personally I think XP will be a little better, because it usually is, but not much as far as I have understood. But hey Im the guy asking the question u guys are supposed to answer =D

3.1 > XP

 

[bizzy420]

2000 and xp should run similiar....in the benchmarks 2000 won some test and xp won in other test.

 

[wormstrangler]

Win2000. Only way to go.

"XP pro

Win2k and XP both have pretty the same ctrl+alt+del function.

 

[Ahnteis]

I think 2000 and XP will play HL2 equally. I'll stick with 2000 though because I like it more for general use.

LATEST UNIX AND OSX!!! THEY ARE TEH PWN

 

[oMarKs]

win 2000 pro for me

 

[sayam]

is it me or is xp pro and home the same thing amost? how is one better than the other?

 

[Ahnteis]

XP home is missing a few things like multi-processor support and it has a limit to the number of concurrent socket connections IIRC.

 

[Apos]

2000 is probably the best OS Microsoft has ever made, but it wasn't intended for gaming. It's probably faster, since it has less junk in it, but it's driver support is not necessarily the top priority for gamers and game makers.

 

[Sunbeam]

Win2k SP4

 

[Javert]

Win XP is supposedly the best for games. You can have priority for applications and the OS handles heavy-duty apps easier. 2000, though, is also good for games, it was the best until XP (avoid all else).

 

[Black-Falcon]

Im using XP Pro, and would NEVER go back. I use it only because its the updated 2K kernal, and its the most stable thing i've ever seen. I think XP Home thouh is like.....XP 1.5 or Win 2000 +.5

 

[Gunner]

Xp Pro works better than 2K on most computer configurations, it's a fact. Besides Longhorn is coming soon so you really should start thinking about switching.

 

[Punzz]

Well isn't Longhorn coming Summer 2004 or something now?

 

[Gorgon]

XP pro.......:bounce:

 

[Tull91]

Win2k All the way!
