Windows 2000 or XP for gaming

[Frede]

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I have searched but not found it.
If playing old games (DOS games), which OS is better?

XP has compatibility mode which 2000 does not. The computer I am installing on is an old 266 Pentium 3 with only 128 MB RAM. I will run mainly old games, since the computer is too slow for any newer games.

What do you think?

xp is a resource hog win98/ME would be better on that machine

you can also use Mac OS to play dos when you have a dos card.

I have one and it rocks.

LOL, that was a new approach. Toss my old PC and buy a MAC with a DOS card! I love your attitude. 8-) btw I have upgraded it with more mem so I now have 256 MB ram. It's the same or better performance with XP compared to Windows 2000, so I think i'll go with XP. Thanks anyway
