I run Win2K Advanced Server and GPL runs very well indeed. I've got PIII running at 765Mhz with 256Mb ram and a Geforce DDR (Detonator 6.47 and DX8) and I get 36fps all the time even at 1600x1200. Even my FF wheel works! The only problem I get is that about 10 mins into a game it locks up as I get some HD trashing but this soon corrects itself. I think this is due to some of the of many things I my system doing whilst idle. I also set it to run in a window so I can swap tasks without it crashing. It fact I've found that almost all the game I've tried out in Win2k work. most work straight away but there are a few that need simple little hacks. I've even managed to get some old Dos games working with sound! Because of it's stability and multitasking Win2k is actually a lot better to run games in than Win98 and you can do all the sensible things that you got Win2K for in the first place. -- Some Call Me Tim

Why would you install a game-oriented OS when most work you do requires a stable OS?
