My qestion is, how much of a frame rate hit would I get using windows 2000 to play my games, like Grand Prix 3, NHL 2000, Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 and madden 2000??

It seems that every1 gets slightly different results. I get almoust no fps difference in 2000 compare to 98.
Just ry it, I'm sure if you loose a fr\ew frames but gain stability, you will like 2000.

once the final of DX 8 is out too you should start seeing w2k out performing ME and 9x. Whistler already does so its only a matter of time before 2k takes over.
