hmm.. i have been using XP for 2 days now.. the new gui looks pretty nice but i dont like it overall. so i think i will backup all my stuff format and go back to win2k. the only feature i really like is the cleartype feature in xp. even though it is for lcd displays and i have a crt monitor it still makes reading the text alot easier.. is this feature available separately in Windows 2000 ? oh another quesiton.. i have a hercules 3d prophet II gts 64 mb video card (geforece2), so when i go back to win2k do i need to install the drivers from hercules.com ? or can i just install the detonators and everything will be fine ? or do i need to install both ?
