Default Re: Does SEIV run on XP????

I have been able to run a wide variety of games without issue on 2000, with the exception of a small number of ancient DOS games, which can be run in other ways, so no loss there. 2000 is just as stable as, if not more stable than, XP, because there is less bloat. The core OS is pretty much the same with both OS. 2000, with service packs installed, is perfectly fine for gaming.

There are several interface areas that you can NOT revert to normal in XP, which is a big problem.

Mephisto, XP Pro is a decent OS, though it pales in comparison to 2000, as it has all that garbage floating around that you don't need stacked on top of win 2000, which it is mostly a skin upgrade of anyways...
