I 2nd that S.C. dude
:)

those guys are sure some poor bastards burned by the speed of the AMD. 
and still can't realize the facts. they are still hypnotized by the 
Wintel inside logo turning and turning and turning.... enough of that, 
now to the serious comments

Man i have a SMP for server running Win2k and it still crashes every now 
and then, but like 30% less crash than using NT4 it was a nitemare 
specially after the SP6a
now that very same system running in Linux did not crash even once, but 
for the damn apps sake, all the stuff the company runs are Windead 
based, and for compatibility sake with the rest of the network, it was 
too much trouble looking to translate all that Outlook server crap and 
shit to be compatible in Linux.

Now as far as Single CPU goes, AMD beats intel alll the way up and down 
the street to the sky, or whatever you wanna call it.

SPECIALLY RUNNING WINBOZED stuff, and as for sTable, hahaha, even those 
old AMD 686  i had before this Atlhon/Duron beats intel in 
STABILITY!!!!!!!!!!

if you think otherwise then think of me as a lucky ass that got better 
performance and stability using an AMD.

Now going back to the game stuff, i've been able to run almost 80% of 
all my games DOS or 3D (Glide / DirectX)
Some of them i had to do some Tweak around, other they just ran out of 
the CD, YES INCLUDING DOS GAMES!
the only ones that did not work or refused to work properly, were those 
looking for direct hardware access (aka some DOS games), or those 
looking for some OLD Direct X stuff, which just can't realize the new 
DirectX 7 / 8  is on the system, and yes i tried running the Tweak 
little thing that comes with the win2k cd, no use, some other yes.

here's the broken down list of DirectX possible compatibility list:

Version        Old   New
_______      ___   ___
DirectX 1 = No/Maybe
DirectX 2 = Yes/Maybe/No
DirectX 3 = No/Maybe
DirectX 4 = Yes/Maybe
DirectX 5 = Have you heard of this?, i've never seen it
DirectX 6 = Yes/Yes
DirectX 7 = Yes/Yes
DirectX 8 = Yes/Dunno yet, cuz i have no games requiring DirectX 8  yet.

and as for Glide goes, is  WOW, i get Crystal sharper graphics in win2k 
than in Win98
I just hate Win98, the stupid things gets corrupted so often, as for 
Win2k goes, works better even under heavy pounding.
of course it's using some NT code, if it goes any worse than Win98, MS 
should file for backrupcy.
Even Win95 were better, faster running, less buggy, and you did have to 
use that F@$#^ing IE4 / 5 in your system.

Netscape 6 is kicking as in speed, but still buggy, hey it is still in 
beta., but Netscape 3 still kick ass, might be old
but is hella fast and small, not as fast as N6 of course. but faster 
than my IE 5.5 sp1 which seems to go slower and slower
as you install more games and try more shareware and stuff on the 
system, EVEN AFTER THE REGISTRY clean up
.dll clean up, and all kind of other reversed work.

THAT'S THE Fu$^&$^&ing with Winduhhh family, they just go more stupid, 
and slower, and worse, the more thing you install on it, even with 
expert clean up maintainance.

I hate windows, the only thing i use windows for are games, and nothing 
more than that, as soon as linux goes GAME hayzewired, i formatting all 
the company computers, to SET THEM FREE from the Wintel corp. 
monogamingpoly.

and well if the bosses don't like it, the can go back to their DOS, or 
Mac stuff, as they liked before we even moved to Win3.1

hahaha

EVEN win 3.1  was 150% more stable than Win98, or 99.9% more stable than 
Win2k

I wont even bother to try out WinME cuz is a succesor of the Worse OS 
ever, so it'll be a waste of time.
