My experience is that as long as you ahve at least 128Mb of memory then Win2K outperformas any of the Win9x variants. > more bloated (if at all > possible) and giving you no way to run in TRUE DOS (a MUST on > desktop PCs for QXL !), nothing is wrong...

My laptop is is dual boot (with the OS in separate partitions so they do not interfer with each other). The performance under Win2K is noticeably faster than under Win95. I do have 256Mb of memory on the machine and I think Win2K makes better use of extra memory than Win9x.
