All the games I play run perfectly under Win2k (but then if they didn't I wouldn't play them!) - especially BG2. Even with the way I treat it, it is absolutely solid (couple of early driver problems though) - so much so that I even let my G/F use it http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

If you run a P4 system with win98 it will only run at 800Mhz.
besides as far as multi tasking goes, i usually have 15 - 20 things going at a time. i will often have BG2, adobe photoshop6, adobe imageready 3, 6 or 7 internet explorer windows, outlookXP and any other application which i happen to need at the time (plus the usual MSN messanger, Aim , or whatever) If your having those troubles multitasking then i would suspect that you have something wrong with your system, and would recomend a reinstall of the os. ------------------ http://www.dabros.com/images/sigs/slackerboy02.gif Get The IronWorks Winamp skin |

Oh and CONGRATS! You will love the new pc! I'm not a major Dell fan either, but they are good with service (we contract w/Dell and Gateway at the Uni where I work). And I'll tell you this...improperly loaded software can happen on any system! LOL My lovely new Gateway arrived the week before Christmas two yrs ago with a botched software install. Guess who spent her holidays after Christmas, wiping and re-configuring/reloading a 20 gig hard drive? I laugh now...but... ugh.. Anyway, ENJOY the new PC, Memsy! POWER gaming is in your grasp, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Memnoch u bastard! You are blatantly trying to make everyone jealous, I mean :"...comments please!".
Well personally I reckon it's $hit. Get it outa my face http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif |
Memnoch - nice system!!!!!
I would also recommend switching to Win2k. Yes, there were a couple of issues with the Via chipset, but they've got most of them resolved with patches, etc. As far as gameplay goes, MS releases Critical Update packages on a monthly basis to help compatibility with programs and games. Keep your system updated, and you shouldn't have any problems. I know I don't. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ------------------ http://members.home.net/bradzinser/M...s/Tempest2.jpg Always listen to your heart, for it will never lead you astray.

Sounds like a nice computer Memnoch! But I hate Dell, they tried to rip me off last year big-time. Thats ok I like my HP.

I used to work for Dell, and I must say...
well, I thought they were a pretty good company. I'd never buy one, because I'm a build your own type of guy, but if you're not.. well... not a bad way to go. Get rid of ME, though... good for backups, bad for game playing. W98 is the way to go, I think... I've had W98 for a long time (first edition) and have been happy with it for everything from Unreal Tournament to Baldur's Gate to Wizards and Warriors to American McGee's Alice. Had WAY too many horror stories at work with W2k, (uh, I get a VFAT not loading error after I installed Cossaks, what's up?) so I stick with W98 as the game player's platform of choice! |
