XP pro vs. 2000 pro

Looking for suggestions, building a machine for someone. Mainly to do office apps, and high speed net.
Athlon 1700+
256 ddr ram
60 gig 7200
Integrated sound and video

Should I load XP pro or 2000 pro. Let me know what you think?

Both are great OS's and ether of them will do the job, but with the newer hardware XP will have better driver support built in.

If going the XP route, check to see if he needs to login to a domain, if not, save some cash as XP Home will do the job just fine.
