If you are one of the many wondering if upgrading to Windows XP will enhance the performance of your gameplay, Gamespot has written an article covering performance and compatibility. Here's a snip:

Quake III, Unreal Tournament, Fallout Tactics, Alice, Deus Ex, and just about any contemporary game title we could throw at XP seemed to load up faster than it did under Windows ME.
