It more stable, Somewhat faster than 98. Takes a bit longer to load though.
But have had zero crashes since I installed it.

Where W2K really starts to be impressive is when you add a second CPU (if
you
can of course!). I now have two SMP systems and I will never go back to
single.
I can have some really intensive tasks going, and never notice since the
other
CPU can handle my interactive needs.
Abit BP6 - Dual Celeron at 533.
MSI 694D Pro - Dual P-III at 700.
