hate to disappoint cha friend.......XP is the NT/2k kernel as well.

I played ALL my games on 2k server tho.....no problems here. XP won't play a few of my girlfriends ($5 at Walmart) games, but everything else runs.....ok I guess.

I havent had any problems with any current games so far. Only really old stuff like roller coaster tycoon has some issues but I like it so far

you can run old games by using the new simulator thang(forgot the name of it) just pick which OS to act like and it will work!

[Kingslayer]

That simulator thang is the compatibility wizard. You can run your programs in a Win9X, ME NT and 2000 environment. It seems to be ok for games. One thing that caught me off guard is that I got a copy of Thief. It wouldn't install on my 2K machine, said it wasn't designed for NT. But it installed and ran on my XP Pro machine without a hitch.

I seems slower on my DSL than the 2K machines. But I haven't tweaked it.

............... Win XP is a a great Direct X compatible gaming OS..
Though I prefer cable over DSL.

[Larry Quinn]

The BIG Question!!!

XP PRO...or XP HOME?????

For Gamers...O.C'rs....

and yes even some real old DOS/Win95 games....

If you suggest "Home" version....what will I sacrifice that "Pro" would have...???


Speed.....OC Ability???

I believe that the only diff between the 2 are Pro you can run a duel cpu setup and you have all the admin stuff and Home ver is single cpu support only and minus the admins stuff

[MrOOBiLL]

I have pro and love it, but i dont see how its worth the extra $200... (If your not running dual cpu)

[Yodums]

There has to be a difference.. It'll be experienced later but for all I know Pro is just a way better choice to go for

[Justin]

Yeah sorry guys ive been saving for a car and havent really been cruising the boards much..but with dsl itll be a breeze. Ive had dialup for 2 years and since its finaly available im goingvto get back into computers abit and especialy COUNTERSTRIKE. Hmm a new os is a bit touchy but it seems like i have moved very nicely...i dont plan on doing things you guys would do to your comp(i have a hard drive...a videocard a modem and an ethernet card and its going to be like that for awhile.....) and pretty much everything is a perfect clean install. I feel alot better than when i first installed windows98. Imight be going to college so i dunno if the dsl thing is going to last but then there are always high speed campus lines....right?
