Digital BW, The Print

I have both Win 2000 Pro & XP Pro. The XP Pro is running dual Xeon
processors with Raid configuration,10,000 rpm SCSI drives(3) with EIDE
drives mirrored for the OS, dual monitors and 2 GB Rhambus RAM. The Epson
Stylus Pro's (7600 & 7500) run well. The system was a little unstable at
first until the graphics card update from NVIDIA was done. Since then the OS
has been rock solid, fast and easy to use. It does have some seemingly added
features that are for those users who aren't as familiar with the Win set-up
but all in all it has been equivalent to Win 2000 in stability. I also
network 2 Win 2000 computers and the XP Pro wirelessly without a problem.
Long term XP Pro might have the edge in future development advances as
stated by others.

Thanks

Oh, yes.  I'm running two monitors on that XP PRO system.  One other item,
XP PRO has dual processor capability.  You may or may not care about that.
At some point, however, I intend to upgrade to dual processors.  That's the
main reason I chose XP PRO over XP HOME for the PS machine.  There doesn't
seem to be any difference in the performance of the two operating systems,
however.
