1. Is Win2000 protocols tweaked?

2. Is the memory allocation the same in Windows2000 than in Winnt4.0?


I can see why most people goto Win2000 pro. It is much sleaker and faster. I just would like to know whats the difference than win9x and win2000.

the win2k memory management is pretty good, and it IS really smart looking, while alse being very stable.
but
on a lower end machine, it is slow.
unless u got 128+Meg ram, dont bother.

im a gamer, so i have win2k and win98SE running on a dual boot.
i recommend this setup, as u can keep win98 uncluttered by only installing the basics, things esential for games, but still be able to work on ure pc, with win2k

my specs are:
AMD K6-2 450Mhz @ 450
128Mb PC100 RAM
ASUS P5A-B mobo 100Mhz bus
nVIdia riva TNT2 M64
Creative Ensoniq PCI Audio
IBM Maxtor 4Gig HDD
Intellimouse Explorer
Microsoft Sidewinder Game Voice

i get about 50fps in half life, which i dont think is too bad, considering the spec.

opinions ?

Well i have Win2000 pro dual booted with Win98se also.

I am very pleased with the OS. I would like to know i try to run HL and it says it needs service pack 3. I think it thinks its on nt 4.0. Anyway here is my setup!!


Athlon 600
128mb ram
Geforce 256 ddr
10gb drive and 4.3gb

FIC board

thats a pretty good setup, sounds like it'll run Win2k fine, i dual boot Win2k and WinME, i've never had any problems with Win2k EVER!
