ATI Radeon Tweaks

lordlee
Just bought a Radeon, but found out its performance (at least in Q3a) sucks compared to Geforce 2 GTS. . . Anyone has any tips for optimizing Radeon in games (the dvd/2d performance is VERY nice, and that's why I bought it).

Huge357
Hi All, I was wondering if any of you can tell which among the Audit Policies should be turned on to see Logoff events in the Security Log. I turned on the 'Audit Logon Events' and I can see the time that a user logs on.

File Manager and Win2k

giskard
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use the old file manager in Windows 2000? Failing that, are there any good alternatives? I want to be able to rename multiple files and i don't think it can be done with windows explorer.
