Hi Guy's
I have been using Mac's for close to 2 years now, and often wonder if anybody has ever seen a Windows System as fast as a Mac, as I have never seen anything even close in speed, it seems to me that the OX system is years ahead.:D

XP when healthy was actually pretty fast. You just have to be careful with it. I still have my gaming laptop with XP on it.

If you maintain your XP machine, run CCleaner occasionally, and have a weekly scan, you're good to go. But Leopard is still nicer, imo.

I do agree... a whole lot less work to keep up and running... and it actually does what I tell it to do

I have no problems with my XP gaming rig, I do not run virus scan or have any type of protection on it. Though i do reimage it every month or so via Altiris. Made a image with all my games on it. :D takes about 15 mins to reimage her, and all you have to do is restart and your good to go, no passcodes, or cd-keys needed.
