Default OK, my computer is screwed..!!

well, this is my new record, without anti-virus prigram, my computer finally need to be reinstalled after 7 months...!! huh, I am thinking either install Win2000 Advance Server or Window XP, I know they are 2 very different OS, but which one is more functional?? since I have used Win2K Pro, I like it, it is steady, so I think Win2K AS should do better... so, what do you guys think??

wonder how come I am still could posting ?? Cuz I am now in safe mode...lol

Derrick,

Why do you want to install Advanced Server on a stand-alone system? If you are already licensed for W2K Professional, stay with it, and install the service packs,unless you already purchased a copy of XP Home. While you are at it, install some virus protection and keep it updated. You can buy Norton SystemWorks for about $20.

The reason why I wanna go with Win2KAS is cuz I could host a server for my friends to play games and... download things from me...

Or, you still think I should stick with Win2K Pro?

for LAN games and stuff, Win2K Pro is more than capable -- no need for the Server version.
