Are Win2k Service packs essential?

Tom-boy
This issue has probably been answered before, but I can't find it, so here goes: I've had some serious probs with Win2k lately. Lost the hard drive twice, the other went completely kaputt, and I've also had a couple of crashes/re-installations of Win2kPro.

Performance before and after XP SP1

jwl812
Well I have suspected Windows XP's SP1 to be more of a problem than a fix and now they are confirmed. I did some benchmarking with and without SP1 installed and the numbers are intriguing. First off, my modest system - AMD Duron 1.

GeForce 3 Upgrade Question.....

Silverado
I'm considering upgrading to a Geforce 4 Ti 4600 from my current video card, which is a first generation GeForce 3. . . . . not a Ti200 or a Ti500. My question is, would I see a noticeable difference in speed?.

creative dxr3 and win 2000

bytezboy
I can't seem to get the card working with win2k sp3. Installed the beta drivers with no conflict. Everytime I play a file or movie using their pc-dvd dvd player, my computer would go into a blue screen saying IRQ_not less or equal (something like that).

Anyone know how I can get Local Security Policy in Windows XP Home? I've seen it in Win2000 Pro. I was wondering if its only available in WinXP Pro. .
