I have 3 oses that I can use. I can use Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Pro, and Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. Which one would provide me the best times for SuperPi then the best one for 3dMark.
General consensus seems to be 2K.
Windows 2K but I always have used Windows XP Pro

Yea, everyone says stripped 2k. I think server 2003 is also good. U know, 2000 is also the best D2OL OS?

As for superpi, it depends on what you are calculating it to. Read up in the superpi section for more info if you plan on benching that.
Hard drives are always better in 2k, possibly another reason 01 benefits in 2k.
