Speed up Games in Win2K - THIS WORKS !!!

DavidNewbould
I have found a great way to speed up games in windows2000. i usually play at 1024x768 and my level of access is Administrator. Creat a new account and give it power user privileges, also knock down the res to 800x600, (you dont notice any major difference) You will find that games run A LOT faster.

Processors sing among themselves

Kampfer
My pc was a combination of an Epox Kp6-bs dual processor motherboard with two p2-450 and 320 SDRAM. Well the problem is that when I installed windows nt4 or win2000 onto my system one of the processors was pegged at about 30% loading, and the other at about 60%, even when no work is being done.

When I try to intsall Win 2k I get an error, Setup was unable to install Windows Boot Loader. Ensure that your c: drive is formated and that the drive is not damaged. I know that the HD is fine, I can use it on other comps.
