I have recently put Win XP on my system and I have only come to realise how slow win2k is in gaming. In 3dmark 2001, I got 730marks 1024, 16bit. In Win XP, this score went to 2400marks.
Likewise, in Counterstrike, win2k's framerate will only hit 60fps (refresh rate) when I look into a corner, and can drop to below 20fps, In XP, most of the time it's at 60 and only drops to about 30-40 in heavy fighting and smoke.
I have the following system.

Win2k, 4.29 via drivers
Win XP b2462, packages drivers,
C2 566@850 1.7v Arcticooler
Asus P3V4X 1004 bios
256mb PC133
Leadtek GF2MX 215/205 7.52 driver
IBM DESKSTAR 75GXP 45GB
Quantum 10.2GB CX
36x CdRom
2x 3com 3c905b
Alcatel ADSL Modem-Bigpond

Is there a way to install the mobo drivers from the XP partition/cd into win2k seeing as XP is built on Win2k?


:confused:

Id try the 12.00 det drivers. They're supposed to be really good under XP.

This maybe is of topic but how do you activate the timedemo (or what ever it is called in the halflife engine) in counterstrike?

Have you installed the VIA 4in1 drivers? If not do that and Win2k will run fast...
