I have a dual boot 98/2k system set up purely for that reason. There are certian games that I run in 98 because they do run faster (Dark Ages of Camelot is one example). However, most of the newer games being released run better on 2k. Both 2k and 98 have the same games folder, so I know the configurations are the same for both. Halflife and mods work fine on 2k (you don't even need to reinstall it, just re-enter your CD Key on the first startup), so is there any reason XP would be different?
