I have a P2 350 and voodoo3 and have 128m ram. I was told that win98 won't use more then 128m. Does this mean that if Q3 is started under win98 and I have 256m of ram it will not access it?

Blood 2 in Windows 2000

Kryten

Bit of a crap game but still : Need to get it working, and i'm having less luck then a blindfolded pool player. It wont install straight off the CD, and it wont install using the APCompat util, as it says something about being not Win32s compatible.

Weird problem with win2k & Half-Life

janmppa

I installed Windows 2000 professional to my computer using NTFS. I play very much Half-Life MODs like TFC and CS. Now, the game itself works fine. But during the game or when I close the game, it disconnects my ISDN connection! Weird? My ISDN card is Terton 128 PCI and I installed the newest win2k drivers for it.

January "AppUpdate" is a HOAX (?)

Ashok

I went to Microsoft's Windows Update Site AND their Windows 2000 Downloads Site. There is NO January Compatability Update to be found. :-( Am I missing something here, or is this patch a F****** hoax?.

I would just like to let you guys know that this new patch kicks a$$. Using the demo in 1. 27g, I would get 75. 4fps at 1024x768x32. Now, I get 95fps at the same settings. In addition, if I toggle the r_ext_compressed_textures cvar to 1, I go up to 106fps.

I love Win2k, but not for Q3...

I love the stability of win2k, but when I play Q3 I just can't get the same smoothness that I can with 98. In 98 it's butter smooth, but in Win2k it just looks shakey. p3 800 with GeForce 2 with detonator 6.
