Well ... I just did a clean format on the system and installed a dual boot of 2000 Professional and XP Pro ... before installing ANYTHING else on both partitions .. (being the atomixer I am) I installed atomix first thing. I compared on how it ran on both (using my version of the Classic Skin using the pre-defines colours on the curves) ... suprisingly ....
IT RAN ON 2000 PRO MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER !!!
I guess its that NT kernel which really helps. XP is great for all-around use ... but for all you that have laptops or use atomix in clubs .. 2000 is the way to go !!!!!!!!!
Leave your feelings/comments/critisms here ..
Cheers.

A friend who have got w2000 told me that after installation of SP3, w2000 is very better and very smoother for all apllications than initialy. Is that right?

Well I haven't installed SP3 yet ... I heard that it's not that great, as it causes some corruption in the regisitry (Thats what my system admin. told me @ the college).
I tried installing XP SP1 on my computer ... but It would not let me d/l it, as i am using a pirated version of the O.S .. any ideas on how to get around it ?
But 2000 definately handles Atomix WAY better, As far stability, reliability and performance goes !! It's just too bad it doesn't have the features that XP does !
Rick ... I know you're happy w/ 98 ... but definately give 2000 a shot, or even XP pro, win98 is going extinct ! Its like having a retired old lady driving a Nascar.

Install w95 OSR1, that's a bit more smooth...
With w95 OSR2, that's extraordinary ! :))

Trip, it's a djoke ! ;))
I answer to anonymous who works still on w3.1. For him, the next stage is w95... And w2000/wXP for him, that's another planet ;))

No, seriously, I've a dual boot w98se - wXP and I works with Atomix on w98se. No bug, no crash and the curve windows are very smooth, more than w2000/wXP, with or without SP.
I bought my p4 1.8A in April and nothing crash, nothing blue screen on w98 and wXP. And I play with game, network on w98se.
A dual boot w2000 and wXP is a great choice, but 5 giga for these OS, it's heavy I think.

Hey Phenryll,
I want to install dual OS but I am not sure how to.......same as you I wanna have XP and 98SE. Currently I'm using XP, so is it just possible to install 98SE right now. I would really appreciate if someone would guide me through the process. Thanx!!
Cheers!

First you need to partition your HD. You could use Partition Majic to do a live partition, but ive seen that program turn a computer into a paperweight faster than you can say "format".
Format one partition in NTFS for Win XP and the other partition in FAT32 for Win 98.
I used to have that same confuration on my system, but more and more i just used XP Pro. XP did have bugs when it first came out, but they were mainly to do with old drivers. Now everyone has brought out updates.
I personally would never use any other system. XP Pro rocks.
And in response to downloading XP SP1, try the winmx network. >
