Well as strange as it could be.

2.4 HT

512 corsair 3200

9500 pro

Anyways i got dual OS system off a fresh install and when working with both

seems as the win2k runs MUCH smoother, faster then XP. Is this due to XP needing more

resources IE. RAM or should XP run smoother. Reason I ask is i was thinking on getting 512 more ram to get 1gb to help XP out as its my main OS.!!

By default, XP has many more unnecessary services running then 2000. Plus the XP themes service will use extra resources. If you want to keep using themes then you should still be able to do a decent job of optimizing XP.

Refer to this for optmizations you can perform on XP:

Also, refer to Black Vipers Service Configuration Guide. There are many unnecessary services you can disable to free up resources.

I'm sure you find a lot of other tips and tweaks via web searches.
