Can I play games with Win NT?

[stingbandel]

Just wondering if I can use Win NT to play games. I am thinking to install it on my old P 233 system. Please lmk.




TIA

You can, but not every game around. And prepare yourself for a no-rush gaming experience...

is that possible for me to play games that need directX 7 or 8? thanks

The highest Direct X released for Windows NT 4.0 was Direct X 3.0.

There is a hack, to where you can get Direct X 5.0 installed in NT 4.0, but I think it is more trouble than it is worth.

I don't think so, as NT4 only has some DirectX "foundations" - something like DX3. You can't update it either

OpenGL games work great on NT, it's MS DirectX that doesn't. More of MS' forced obsolecense.

I played every verson of quake on NT 4 without issue.
