Win 2000 v XP

[clone38]

Right i do have a OEM version of XP but i have to phone up Microsoft every time i do a fresh install, pain in the bottom :/

But in the other hand i have win 2000 that installs with no problem,im going to be doing some overclocking with phase soon and want to know is if i had to use win 2000 will it be ok or should i just stick with XP?

I dont think DX9c works with 2000 - There are some issue with SLI also I think - try it and report back

I'm suprised you have to phone microsoft everytime you reinstall. I only have to do it if I change a major component - once they give you the new number that works fine for future installs.

Well over the last few months ive changed motherboard 3 times hard drive 2 times.

Ive never had a new number they give you a long key code to reactivate it.

I run 2000 never had any worries dx9c works fine.

Not sure about sli though as i am not running that but has been the most stable os for me.

I should be ok then as i will not be running sli been there done that.

Thanks for the replys

Sorry clone38 i am running that on an old amdxp system,and not on a new amd64.So i dont know if that makes a diffrence with regards to the os.

Brain has been a bit dissengaged didnt think to ask what system you were running and it sounds new so not sure.

Try it and see.

No worries m8 i think i`ll go back to xp as 2000 is making me feel old and i miss a few things that xp had to offer.

Thanks for the reply guys

It is possible to remove the activation reminder... As long as you know you have a legitimate license it shouldn't matter if you choose to.

I wish i knew how to m8,but i dont think you can do this.
