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 MadDAWG

I only have one "modern" game that W2K won't run - The Sims... but that seems to be rare. It works for most people. Dale.
N4 - yes DTR - No for me, but some claim to be able to run it F12k1 - yes F1CS - yes GPL - yes N3,NL - ? NFSPU - yes MP - yes. I just beat it, awesome game! "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3bdd602f$[email hidden]...

That could be it. I haven't upgraded past SP1. "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3bde9972$[email hidden]...
