Is this no longer accurate about fat32? I just used a 4 gb flash drive to share several video files between Windows XP and Linux Mint.

I also plan on sharing several files in the future with that 4 gb flash drive between XP and Mint so I was wondering if I should use fat32 or ntfs. Fat32 seems faster than ntfs, so I think I would prefer fat32. Please explain why with whichever way you say.

FAT32 : absolute maximum file size is 4 Gb.
File Allocation Table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Within the M$ world NTFS is "normal" nowadays. In your context the Linux disc drivers for NTFS are paramount and there is no substitute for real world testing.

I always use NTFS for this situation.

for fat32, the max of sigle file is 4G, so u'd better choose ntfs format.
