I really dont know why you were not able to post. But I know for sure that it was a fatal mistake to go with Windows 2000. Don't see how it is even great to use. It has too many USB problems even with the latest service pack. The worst part is when I play a few games, and it suddenly locks up. The blue screen of death comes up for 1/2 a second and your computer mysteriously resets. Guess it turns out to be a USB -related problem. But for sure, Windows XP is newer then Win2k was, so therefore it has to be better. :-D
P.S.No flame wars, just putting in my input. :-)
