I'm looking to reformat my laptop and I need to decide between windows 2003 server, windows XP and windows 2000. The laptop is a bit older and I want the best performance I can get from one of these three operating systems. Thanks for your help and opinions 4chan.

Win2000 is quite stable but the problem is that MS is dropping official support for it. No more security updates doesn't matter much unless you plan on connecting to the internet on your laptop.
I bit the bullet and went with Win2003 server earlier this year on my Athlon 1.4 with 768 RAM. Works great even with all my four year old hardware. Plus you can turn off all the extra services and more or less reduce it to Win2K like.
But to be honest, I would've stayed with Win2K if it weren't for MS dropping it's support.
