Windows Millenium, ME, is for home pc usage and is the update to Windows 98.

Windows 2000 is for business/professional usage and is the update to Windows NT.

The name has confused many, because after 95 and 98 it would seem 2000 would be next, but thanks to marketing people who felt Millenium had a better "ring", home users got ME and business users waiting for the NT update got a numbered version 2000.

As to your original question of game slow down, I don't think I can help. It's never happened to me. Maybe a memory leak? Try using the config option to set a bigger swap file...I always set my swap file at the minimum for multiplayer even when I play singles because bigger is better....lol

Also, check ZDnet.com for a shareware program called "cacheman". It's suppose to help improve pc performance for everything from "burning" discs to gameplay
