i found a intresting report on how win2000 is for games. i know many of you use it, i myself much more prefer winme for games. i have always felt a fps drop in performance with win2k (even though many of you have told me otherwise).


overall, the general message is that windows 2000 is no longer a connoisseur of incompatibility, but a very viable alternative to windows 98 for users from all walks of life.


installing windows 2000 is a day’s work, but maintaining it requires only seconds. if you plan the upgrade beforehand, you should have no trouble, and the less hassle in the long run, the more games that can be played.



get some coffee and read the full report over at eurogamer.

you used johns machine at trinlan, it gave 125 solid fps. As long as you are using a geforce of some description, win2k will give just as much fps as win9x. I tested this when I still had win98 on my machine. win2k actually gave me more fps... Apart from that, its a much, much better operating system, in every way. It has loads of little things that are intelligently thought out, it doesnt crash for no reason, I can't really find a whole lot wrong with it. One thing though, is that it needs 256 megs before its really happy, but thats cheap these days.

funny how I have no problems with mouse drivers. I do remember at trinlan though, installing 32a_eng on havoks machine, with no problem, also installed and removed razer drivers on that machine, no problem either. The display in quake3 is fucked? no, the gamma is fucked. It can be fixed. And AH HAD YOR MA. leper camel.
