Always NTFS.... Its just a better overall kernal. (my opinion of course, but this board seems to share this opinion with me as well)

NTFS is the way to go. I use it on every machine where I install 2000.

Thanx mate, just noticed you have directx 8.1 where did you get that because i downloaded it and it was an out of date beta...

thanx v.much

In my experience, any loss of speed is unnoticeable going to NTFS from FAT32, and the only way I knew that was running benchmarks and guesstimating.

Also system memory. With less than 32mb of system ram NTFS is a hog.

it also depends if ur dual booting with other operating systems. say if ur dual booting with win98 or winme then u need to run FAT32 inorder for the other OSes to see ur files.
