Which one will run better in XP ? I know WOE2 was created to be Vista and W7 compatible, so is it more of a resource hog when run in XP ?

nope, but it requires a more powerfull computer to run, it likes higher end video cards and large amount of memory

Go with WOE, the first generation games, when running XP. It doesn't look as nice, but you'll get better framerates.

I'm running WOE2 on XP with lower end machine and DX9,it runs great.
You might have to turn down some graphic functions,but it runs very well.

I reformatted my XP rig, and it is running much better.

Absolutely agree. I actually get as good or better FPS on WOE2 than WOE given the same settings. The real killer with my lower end machine is the TV display (in the A-10 for example).

I think TW did some tweaking with graphics with the gen 2 sims.

I think some stuff dx10 is turned off if you play the new games on an older DX9 machine.
