XP or 2000 pro? which has better compatibility?

[cm_uk]

i have been getting alot of blank screens after bootup with xp.This occurs about 5 times then it boots.this only happens after i install the graphics card and mobo drivers-i think it is the graphics card cause if i put it in VGA mode it boots fine!so iam thinking of using 2000 pro so it wont have these driver issues.I have tried update the drivers but still no luck.so are their any main differences between the 2? i know you cant emulate certain os's but that doesn't bother me. Please state the differences between the two os's.
cheers

all versions of windows nt 5 (2000, xp, 2003) use the same driver model, any drivers for 2k will also work on xp and vice versa.

on the whole windows xp has better support for older applications than windows 2000, but slightly worse support for curiously programmed games - xp will not run Acclaim's Fur Fighters, for example.

the main differences between 2k and xp are aesthetic - better menu layouts, generally easier to configure. but on the drivers front all nt5 operating systems are interchangeable - hence using sound card drivers from my xp cd on my 2k3 machine
