Hello,

I am a bit perplexed in choosing the right operating
system for my new PC at home. I am builing one from
scratch and I am debating weather windows 2K Pro windows
XP would be best for me. I am using my computer mostly
for personal use.. most applications I run are for photo
and video editing and web programming. I do also enjoy
playing games, both on line and offline. I do not run any
special services such as dns or a web server. I do have
PC's networked with 2 other people within the same
household and they are both ambiguous on which OS is the
better. Pricing for this products (licenses) do not come
cheap and I am hoping that I will not have to upgrade the
OS for a while. As far as stability, ease of use and
availability of future product with the OS, can someone
guide me in purchasing the right OS for the system.

The the basic system specs are as follows:

Motherboard: ASUS P4C800 -E Deluxe
chip: Intel Pentium 2.8Ghz 800 Mhz FSB
MEM: 1G PC3200 DDR mem
Video: ATI radeon 9800 Pro 256M
2 x 80G harddrives.. WD

Thank You for any comments and/or advise
