I know this is not what you want to hear, but I reluctantly switched from Windows 98 to 2000 and found it to be a fantastic upgrade. All the myths that Windows 2000 won't run games are largely nonsense. The only games it won't run are pure DOS games and there are DOS emulators that get around that problem.

I'm running XP now and have been for 2 years, but I still think 2000 is the best OS Microsoft ever released. I really had to try VERY hard to get 2000 to lock up. I can get XP to kernel panic without too much difficulty. Under even the worst circumstances, when 2-3 programs were going crazy, I was still able to Ctrl-Alt-Del and sort out the mess under 2000. My longest uptime on Windows 2000 without rebooting was 7 weeks.
