Jim,
 For what it’s worth I have use Win2000 (Pro) on my system and have yet to
have a reason to change to XP. The reason I responded to your inquiry is
because I have similar hardware/software and have yet not been able to run
any of it. I have the Nikon LS-40000, Epson 1280, 2000P and 785EPX and all
have run great. I also have an HP scanner, which runs well and countless
Fire wire  & USB connections. I also network the computer, via wireless USB
card and the networking allows me to share photo files as well as a cable
modem hook up. All in all I’m satisfied with the work and stability of the
system.  In fact, I’m in the process of building another system with dual
processors in a RAID 5 configuration using Winn2000 Pro. I must add though,
that I have never tried XP, but have done the WIN 95,98, ME clean installs
and Win 2000 is light years more stable than those, at least in my system
photo configuration.
 Frank
