Gamming on Win2K question

[aUt0eXebat]

I've heard some things that gamming on win2k isn't good? Or it dosn't support some/most of the games? I usualy just play:

halflife
quakeIII
Rainbow Six
Solider of Fortune

And those type of games. oh yea, and I'm getting a RADEON 32DDR vid card, are they compat. w/ Win2k?
I just used Win2k at college and I really like it.. I am hoping its compatible with the games....

When it first came out there were some driver issues that made gaming problematic. However, now (in my experience) I can play the same games as I did in Win98 with no noticeable difference in performance. Don't know specifically if your games will work though...

Quake II
Half-Life
Star Craft
AOE II
etc.

On your list all play great on my w2k excecpt HL which I'm not so sure.

Bewared if u want happy gaming in w2k avoid ATI cards. Their driver stink.

Check out NTcompatible for win2k games

All those work execpt Rainbow 6.

WIn2000 works great for my gaming needs, Unreal Tournament being the one I use themos and I use an ATI Rage128 32 meg card just fine.

Beware...I had a Radeon 32 DDR and the performance absolutly SUCKED in win2k...my GeForce 2 MX was faster than they Radeon in 2k.

Unfortunetely ICSVortex is correct. ATi has done a very very poor job with their Win2K drivers. The performance is an average 50-60% worse than 98.

dulanic:
what about when they come out with more new drivers? would that fix the prob?
What Good vid cards or brands are reccommend?
