HarU 0 Posted September 28, 2001 Always NTFS.... Its just a better overall kernal. (my opinion of course, but this board seems to share this opinion with me as well) Share this post Link to post
GTwannabe 0 Posted September 28, 2001 NTFS is the way to go. I use it on every machine where I install 2000. Share this post Link to post

Brian Frank 0 Posted September 28, 2001 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. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted October 1, 2001 Also system memory. With less than 32mb of system ram NTFS is a hog. Share this post Link to post
bobbinbrisco 0 Posted October 1, 2001 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. Share this post Link to post
