Yeah, so I get this e-mail from Ryan Hart, I have no clue who this lamer is, but he is a member of this forum..

 

Here's what he has to say..

 

Hello,

I just wanted to comment on your response on the message board pertaining having Win2k run games better than WinMe. I would just like to say that you better keep your mouth shut before you speak. I've ran benchmarks etc, for Nvidia for the past 5 years and Win 2k reduces all game performance by 33%. I just thought I would let you know so you don't make a fool out of yourself in the future,

 

Thanks,

Ryan

 

 

AND

 

We've tested over just under 400 different machines with different configurations. It's just a known fact.

 

 

Does this guy have a life or what to test out 400 different machines (obviously he is lying)

 

reduced by 33 %?? I don't ****ing think so.

 

Have fun flaming this guy, he is in the forum somewhere.

Well, you definitely better keep your mouth shut, he may send the Thought Police after you.

 

I think 33% is an extreme exaggeration. I would believe like 10%, or maybe even 15%, but 33% is ludicrous, why would all the gamers over on [H] be runing Win2K if the difference between it and Win9x was that great? I've even seen numbers that put 2K ahead of ME.

Hmm...I don't know how he came up with 33% decrease in performance in Win2k. I don't have data to back me up but I can tell WinME is not as fast as Win2k. I play Counter-Strike all the time and I am getting 75 fps (w/ Vsync on and 99 FPS when Vsync off) all the time in Win2k and in WinME that frame rate flatuates from 75 to 40s (Vsync on). I also play Quake 3 and AOE II and they both run really smooth. When I play AOE II multiplayer game, my friends ask me to server the game because they think the game runs smoother when I serve the game (I was the only one with Win2k and they all got Win98SE and WinME).

This guy gives new meaning to "Lamer".

---------

He probably ran his benchmarks on a P166, 64mb ram, with a static pagefile of 96mb and a TNT1 16mb card. 400 machines!!!!HAHA!!!

4 Machines maybe....and I stress "MAYBE".

he must be running a slow beater cause w2k is the best os for my computer,it beats 98 at start up and program loading.

A slow beater? Hey, I'm running one of those: a 333Mhz P2, albeit w/192MB RAM.

 

How does Win2K do? Just fine, thanks. Much, much better than Win9x.

Well, first off, i will say that WinMe runs everything faster on my machine at home than win2k. Startup, Applications, Games, Benchmarks, unfortunately, EVERYTHING....and i stress UNFORTUNATELY.

 

I hate WinMe. The stability is absolute horse sh*t. The only thing it has is compatibility and a little more speed. For my gaming, i use WinMe. But, i also have a Win2k box for business use, and it kicks *** . The stability, the security, and for me, the convenience is soooooo much better. WinMe is nowhere near 33% faster though. It may beat out my win2k box by a max of about 10 fps in quake3 and maybe 200-500 marks in 3dmark. But, it does run all my games flawlessly.

 

I hope so much that win2k becomes more compatible with games, because the second it does, i will throw winMe out the window.

 

But, for now, WinME it is. I like having that feeling that if i want to pull out an old game just for fun, i know it will run flawlessly on ME. I don't know what my point here is......i guess it is that WinMe is still a better OS for gaming. As much as i hate it, it is better. But, for the people who may not have the money to get 2 machines (one ME and one 2k), i recommend using what you like best. The speed difference is hardly significant enough, unless you are a real "nit-picky" person that counts up every fps down to the decimal. Anyway, bottom line is.....Damn Jdul, this guy is really lame....LOL.....

I meant a real slow beater cause I'm running

a 400 he must be running a 166 or close to that

Now it's a 750
