Playing games on Win 2000 pro

[stro04]

I am about to order a new computer and was wondering which OS to get. I already have Win 2000 Pro from an old comp. I could save some $$ if I just used it but I would like to play games on it as well although Im not very good. Should I get XP now when I order the new comp since I can get an OEM version for alot less $$ or will 2000 pro do. I will also use the comp. for dvd burning, internet, etc...
Thanks for your time.

My computer:
AMD 2500
Abit NF7 v 2.0
Seagate 160 GB HD
ATI 9000 Video
Crucial memory 512 MB
Yamaha CDRW

Games will play fine on Windows 2000. It's the OS I use, and I've never had a problem. All the new games run fine. save your money, stick with win2k if you're comfortable with it.

In my experience (win 2k pro and win xp home) there is no difference between the compatibilty of games on each OS. I run win 2k pro at the moment and all the games I run (CS, CoD, BF1942, NFS: Underground, GTA: Vice City) it is fine. Save the money

Ive had a lot of problems gettting some older games, like Colin McRae 2 to work with decent frame rates...compared to xp, where i get good frames in most games.

It looks like 2000 likes opengl games since, i have quake3 installed on my 2000-server and runs faster than either XP or 98SE.
