I understand that with the service pack Win2000 will run alot more games
now. So how do these titles run in Win2000 with a Geforce 2 video card. I
know XP is out, but I am a hardware freak and I really don't want to mess
with this authorization crap.

NASCAR 4
Dirt Track Racing, Dirt Track Racing - Sprint Cars, Leadfoot (all basically
the same)
F12001
F1 Champion season 2000
Grand Prix Legends
NASCAR 3, NASCAR Legends
Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed [don't laugh its a good change of pace]
Max Payne [another change of pace :) ]

Thanks

yes

yes but there's  a bit of fiddling required with gimme.dll and/or swapfile

Dunno.

I only have one "modern" game that W2K won't run - The Sims... but that
seems to be rare.  It works for most people.

From what I found out you need the latest service pack, and then set it to
run in win98 mode in the shortcut.

That could be it. I haven't upgraded past SP1.

No way, I ran Porsche Unleashed, with no problems, and no fiddling etc.
Worked noticably better than on 98se.

Yes it does work.
