Most important thing to do before taking the XP pludge is to check your

video cards compatibility with XP... there are a few rare GF2 chipsets

out there that don't want to install new XP drivers. XP thinks its drivers

are better (how Microsoft) and will not install unless you do a few

workarounds. So if your a PC newb and find out your chipset is one of

those problem ones....you may not want to change. Also..if you have

less than 256 ram.. you may not want to switch as well.

 

Also... tonight I setup my other pc and got them networked. Setting up

a LAN isn't as easy as Win98....IMHO ...protocols and options are just

a little more barried than win98. XP is far more reliable than any

MS OS I used... although I havent given 2000 a fair shake yet....

I have 3 comps networked with my 2000 and everything seems cool. password protect everything and it is alot more reliable then ME which i use to use.
