    w2k

    I´m thinking of upgrading to w2k!
    my matrox g400 MAX does very well in w98

    Is there any problems with w2k?

    Has MS ever produced an OS that was problem free?

    Actually I'm running Win2K on my Athlon sys and generally speaking runs games very good... but if I were you I'd wait. Support for it isn't upto par yet (hardware/drivers/utiities) and Win98 is better suited for gaming/multimedia at the moment IMHO.

      No problems here. Only the DualHead on NT/win2k is a little rough, but should be fixed in Servicepack 1 (out in June/July?). There is no significant drop in framerate on OpenGL games. I like it.. Its alot more stable, and no drastic gaming difference. CS/HL, Q3 and UT all run as good in win2k as in win98.

      I say do it. I did it, or first run a dualboot for a couple of months just to test it.

      In case it's a harware problem:

        Some games are still lacking in patches for win2k, like BattleZone 2, Worms 3, Phantom Menace & Dungeon Keeper 2. These all fail to run!
