Greetings,
Which would run faster on a Celeron 400 MHz / 256 MB / 6 GB laptop: XP Pro or 2000 Pro? I've read threads that discuss stability and compatibility issues, but what I'm interested in is performance (considering its slow speed, I want to squeeze as much as possible out of the laptop).
Provided I turn off XP's themes (and any superfluous services), would it boot/run significantly faster than 2000? Surely it has more "overhead" and has a larger footprint on the hard drive, but how much more optomized for speed is XP than 2000?
Thanks for your time...
