<< Why would anyone bother with win2k? Useless! >>



Care to explain your reasoning here, or just leave it as a pointless statement?

I like the pointless statement idea! Really though, it doesnt matter for most home users.

Its just useless for me. Are you offended? :confused:

I'm not offended, I just think you're a dumbass.

Definately Win2000Pro.

A GTS is lots of power.
But then, I don't pirate software, so *shrugs*.

What country you in dude? I seem to have found a copy of win2k:););)
Get the geforce, get it now....Win2k is not really any better for a standard user than a well honed 98se(here it comes, *wince*)Of course I would never advocate piracy, just like Microsoft would never advocate the quashing of fair trade:)

I'd stick with Win98 and get a GF3. If someone gave me a copy of Win2000 proper, I'd sell it on FS/T quite frankly.

Try a refomat, and a clean install of 98se first, and failing that, how much ram you got? Graphics performance increases SUBSTANTIALLY when you get over 256mb, you will probably find you don't really need the gf3 as bad as you think you do, Diablo 2(expansion)runs at 800x600, all detail levels high, perfectly smooth, honestly, I have not(others may disagree, I care little)seen a more system specific game than this, including ALL fps types.....98se, gf2 gts and 384 has QIII and serious sam running at UNGODLY framerates...Also, just remember, if u want 2k, Pm me....Or go to my site and email me from there, using the &quot;contact&quot; button...

Get the GF3 card, sell off your GF2 card.

You could probably get the Win 2K cheap off some small store. :)

Norton Systemworks has been known to cause loads of problems for many pple, why do you even use it?
