People have said that installing PowerDVD under Windows 2000 severely inhibits game perforance. Is there any truth to these rumors.

What do you mean by severely inhibits game perforance??? I have been running Power DVD 2.5 for months and have not had any problems playing games. The software does not have anything to do with playing games. All it does is play your dvd movies.
More info on where you heard that would be helpfull.

I'm pretty sure it will take up 0.000000000000000000000000000000001% of system memory when it's not running. This probably still gets right up speed-nerds noses.
Or, perhaps someone found that when trying to play quake3 windowed, and watching a dvd with software decode, on a P90, it was just a bit slow.
Could it have been someone in the gaming industry, under the impression that 2 hours of FMV intro would be a problem, as people would never get to the game?
Just tell that person who told you that to stick his FU up his and go home.
